Industry Relevance 

Part of a dynamic duo, tube and wire are open to professionals only and take centre stage at Messe Dusseldorf every two years. The very first edition was put together in 1988 to a small audience and since then the brand has gained quite the traction. Today, tube and wire are established and a brand recognised worldwide. The format has been so popular that it produced successful satellite events all over the world - Russia, India, Southeast Asia, China and Arabia. 

Visitors come because they’re treated to the full processing chain in thematic areas. There are raw materials, pipes and fittings, machinery for pipe manufacturing, process technology tools and related tools, measuring, testing and control technology, profiles and associated equipment.

Furthermore, the trade fairs run alongside METAV – a leader for metalworking technologies.

Exhibitors come from all over the world with the biggest concentration being in Europe – Germany, Austria, Finland, Italy, France, Bulgaria, Spain and Switzerland. There’s also strong numbers coming from China, Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Taiwan and the United States of America. As far as who you are able to meet. Outside trade visitors directly involved in the Tube industry, you also meet decision makers from the automotive supply, chemical, energy, electrical, iron and construction industries. 

These trade visitors are mainly in high managerial positions – top-level managers make up 54% of all visitors.
