Dear TubeNet visitor,

The time is running fast and IMTS-98 is getting close. It will be held in Chicago on September 9 - 16. In the US this show is important for manufacturers and also for the tube and pipe industry.

IMTS (The International Manufacturing Technology) is a huge show and attracts also international visitors. Be sure you will have a pair of good shoes there, but never use brand new. I have made that mistake once and will remember that always.

Also EURO-Blech 98 in Hannover comes up soon. It will be held on October 20-24. Even if it's a special show for sheet metal fabricators, there is also a tube and pipe area. Two years ago there were quite nice traffic during three first days.

Best regards,

Juha Haapala
