Expansion of LNG pipelines in the USA, new hydrogen networks in Europe and mega-projects in China, India and Southeast Asia – pipe producers and manufacturers of pipe processing equipment face no shortage of opportunities. All around the world, projects are springing up to meet the rising demand for energy, and especially for renewables.
Rising to the challenge: Pipeline steels must guarantee a long service life. High operating pressures put extreme demands on pipes – and their welds – as they transport the medium through the line. In addition to high operating pressures, they often also need to withstand high mechanical stresses and environmental factors such as extreme temperatures to prevent the pipeline from becoming a costly failure.
Best of both worlds: quality and cost-effectiveness
At the same time, the pipe industry has to combine premium quality with efficient, economical production – delivering the best of both worlds. And it does deliver – running full bore. Visitors to wire & Tube 2026 in Düsseldorf will discover how: through automation, digitalisation and artificial intelligence.
From 13 to 17 April 2026, the leading trade fairs wire & Tube in Düsseldorf will showcase trends and highlights from the global wire, cable and tube industries.
