While there are some seven months to go until Tube 2020 at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre (30 March to 3 April), exhibitor interest has been building fast.

The show organisers have confirmed a strong increase in participation from Turkey, India and Taiwan, with the numbers already exceeding the final exhibitor numbers of 2018; and with strong interest already shown by the traditional exhibitor regions of Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and both Central and Eastern Europe, a record number of exhibitors is anticipated.

In exhibition halls 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 7a, Tube 2020 will present the complete process chain in the tube industry, from machinery and equipment for tube manufacturing, forming and processing to raw materials, tubes and accessories, second-hand machinery, process engineering tools, auxiliaries, measuring and control equipment — as well as test engineering.

Chinese exhibitors will be in Hall 7, and so far just under 52,000m² have been booked; in 2018, a total of 52,436m² was taken.
