Tube takes place every two years in Düsseldorf, Germany. Editions run for a total of five days at the start of spring – this is usually at the end of March and beginning of April. Tube shares a stage at Messe Dusseldorf with another specialized trade fair for components, Wire. Both events fall on even years and offer access to trade visitors only. Messe Düsseldorf GmbH serves as the official organiser as well with generous support from the International Tube Association (ITA).
The day’s events are scheduled between 09:00 am in the morning and 18:00 in the afternoon. The exception is the last day, which wraps up earlier at 16:30 pm. Do you need to rent a car to make it to the exhibition grounds? No. Messe Düsseldorf presents visitors with access to the tram and bus service – a convenient and efficient way to commute every day.
Tube always generates significant business and organisers reveal that there is 97% satisfaction rate among trade visitors. The attendance numbers are also very satisfying.
Last edition saw more than 1200 international exhibitors and nearly 30,000 trade visitors, which makes for the perfect visibility for your brand. Visitors come from all over the world to make purchases and establish partnerships with the majority coming from big European markets like Italy, France, Spain, and Austria.
But we also want to highlight the growing involvement of markets in the East such as India, South Korea, Taiwan and China. As far as professional backgrounds go, the audience is diverse as buyers come from a variety of industries – automotive, chemical, energy, electrical, iron and construction.
