After a break of over four years, the Tube took place from 20 to 24 June. The sector met for the worldwide leading fair of the tube and pipe industry in Düsseldorf. Contrary to forecasts, the response of exhibitors and visitors was better than expected. Our summary is also a positive one, even though the number of guests was lower than at previous events.

“Finally, the Tube is back again,” was the concise summary of Michael Allexi. With this, the managing director expresses the impression that he took from the week-long fair. Both the fair team and the visitors were pleased to be back in person, in contact with one another without significant restrictions. “We held good, valuable discussions with our business partners,” says Allexi. It was especially important to present rff again, emphasized the managing director.

The new fair concept with which rff welcomed its customers in Hall 1 for the first time met with a positive response. Amongst other features, the stand invited visitors to interact in the relaxed atmosphere of a spacious lounge. “The number of visitors was lower this year, as was expected. Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with the discussions and the feedback of the guests,” says managing director Jörg Delveaux.

The fair team used the Tube to join with business partners and potential customers from around the world in discussing the issues currently concerning the sector. In particular, questions regarding supply reliability and future price developments were frequently heard at the Tube. This reason on its own made participation in the Tube a good decision, with the opportunity to present rff from its best side as a reliable partner.

During the week of the fair Michael Allexi took part in an interview with Frank Wöbbeking in which he commented on key questions and challenges that are posing a headache for sectors beyond the steel industry.
