Tube 2026: Ready for Future

Trade fair week brings important insights

22.04.2026

The Tube was a successful trade fair week for everyone involved from our company. We would like to sincerely thank all our customers, suppliers, and partners for the valuable conversations. They once again demonstrated how important strong partnerships are in successfully overcoming shared challenges. Despite the currently demanding conditions, we therefore remain optimistic about the future.

The figures published by the Messe Düsseldorf clearly speak for themselves: 1,124 exhibitors from 49 countries presented their products and services across seven exhibition halls. Visitors from all over the world came to exchange views on geopolitical challenges, changing supply chains, and other key topics shaping the steel industry. Overall, Messe Düsseldorf draws a positive conclusion.

“The Tube this year was characterized by intensive exchanges with key partners on both the procurement and sales sides. The signals we are receiving are extremely important for correctly assessing trends. The insights gained are directly incorporated into our evaluation and strategic positioning on key future topics,” said Managing Directors Michael Allexi and Jörg Delveaux in unison.

Overall, we are very satisfied with the course of the trade fair week. The trend observed at the previous event - namely a shift in the structure of visitors - continued. While the total number of contacts declined slightly, the quality of discussions, particularly with representatives of our customers and suppliers, increased significantly.
