Keeping you in touch with Opportunities in Asia.
Tube Singapore, Southeast Asia’s leading trade fair for the tube, pipe and related industries,
has become an important platform for those who seek to find and to keep in touch with the opportunities available in Asia.
Premiered in 1997, Tube Singapore is the Asian version of Tube Düsseldorf, the world’s no. 1 trade fair for tube and
pipe. Tube Singapore has established itself as the most effective and efficient forum to gain access to Asia. Exhibitors
have benefited from showcasing their cutting edge technologies, new machinery, new equipment and accessories. They were
able to meet the buyers and decision makers in the industry face to face, promote and maintain their corporate presence as
well as assess the potentials of the Southeast Asian markets. Visitors, on the other hand, were able to acquire
comprehensive information on products, materials, technology and equipment and meet the industry experts. These are the very
reasons why visitors have acclaimed Tube Singapore as “the” leading trade show for the region’s tube, pipe and the various
industries it serves.
Held for the fourth time in Singapore, the 2003 staging of Tube Singapore will
provide the industry with solutions and peripherals for the region’s industrial, manufacturing, infrastructure and
construction development.
ASEAN - of strategic importance
With Southeast Asia getting ready for recovery and with signs of positive growth in the horizon, the region’s economic
prospects are projected to be brighter. It is projected that from 2003 onwards Southeast Asia’s export sector
will benefit from the renewed growth in the US and EU and also from the much anticipated world trade growth. The
ASEAN free-trade area (AFTA) is also expected to raise the levels of regional trade by 2003.
ASEAN member countries are now looking into strengthening the region as
an economic grouping through the formation of an ASEAN Economic Community. Having a more realistic appreciation of
its strength and weaknesses and to compete in the global economy, it is the intention of ASEAN to integrate their markets to
form a common economic space for manufacturing and other sectors. The ASEAN economic integration will no doubt change the
economic structure of the individual member countries. Take for example the electronics sector, Southeast Asia is already a
single economic space. Components for products such as television sets and personal computers are made in various
parts of Southeast Asia.
As a region, ASEAN will be of strategic importance to countries such as USA, Japan, China, Australia and Europe.
Southeast Asian countries, through the many years of investments, have a good industrial base, sound infrastructure and
a reservoir of skilled workers. Situated at the crossroads for East and West, Southeast Asia has always been outward
looking and open to trade.
Industrial and manufacturing sectors - main growth impetus
The main growth impetus for most ASEAN countries will come
from the industrial and manufacturing sectors which is expected to rebound in tandem with the projected recovery of
the US in 2003. This will pave the way for the resumption of a steady and sustained growth pattern in the region’s economy.
Analysts are also projecting a surge in world trade by then.
Act Now - Be There!
More and more serious buyers from Asia are congregating at Tube Singapore in search of tube and pipe technologies
and manufacturing machinery as well as process technology tools, tubes, pipes and accessories. No one should miss
this opportunity to meet with the investments in materials, machinery, equipment and technology.
