Both events will he held concurrently from 16 to 20 April 2018 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.

They will cover manufacturing and finishing, process automation, measurement and control engineering, cable technologies, tube manufacturing and processing, raw materials, the raw material trade, pipelines, OCTG technology, profiles, pre-used machinery and plastic tubes.

But a large number of registrations have also been received from the US, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Japan and China for the 2018 exhibition.
