With a diversified portfolio and a clear goal in mind - to further strengthen our position as a global premium pipe manufacturer - we were represented at several international trade fairs this autumn.
This year was also characterised by exciting trade show appearances, where we were able to present our product highlights to an international audience. From September to November, our team worked tirelessly to be present at five international trade shows. These included events that are already a regular part of our annual calendar, as well as new shows where we showcased our expanded product portfolio.
Our aim is not only to deliver the highest technical quality with our products, but also to be globally networked in different markets. The busy trade show season allows us to develop in all business areas and to understand the needs of our customers worldwide.
The first stop of our autumn exhibition season was KIOGE, held in Almaty from 25 to 27 September. This well-established event is considered to be one of the most important trade fairs for the oil and gas industry in Central Asia. It attracts experts and decision makers to discover and promote innovative technologies and future trends.
Our product highlights on site
were very well received. The VAsuperior®-DryTec® in particular impressively demonstrated how innovative technologies can make the industry more sustainable. The discussions on site were characterized by an intensive exchange about specific requirements and possible future projects.
Our trade fair team:
The trade fair appearance in Almaty represented a central meeting point for our customers and potential interested parties from the Central Asian region.
Following the successful launch of our hollow sections at the TUBE 2024 in Düsseldorf, we showcased our VTS®-edgeTubes for the first time internationally at the Saudi Agriculture in Riyadh. This exhibition is one of the largest agricultural technology fairs in the Middle East and gave us the opportunity to present our product innovation to a new audience.
As the only Austrian company and the only pipe manufacturer on site, we received a lot of astonished looks. The VTS®-edgeTubes aroused great interest among the visitors. Our colleagues were able to answer many questions, make many new contacts and lay the foundations for future business relationships in the region.
We look forward with confidence to a future in which we will be increasingly present with our hollow sections in the Middle Eastern markets,
summarised the team.
While our team was in Saudi Arabia, we also showcased our hydrogen-tight premium connection VAhyper® at the Hydrogen Technology Expo in Hamburg, Germany.
With over 20,000 visitors, the show is one of the most important events for the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. The focus was on sustainability and energy transition - issues that are central to us.
Our team gave an impressive demonstration of how our technologies can make the use of hydrogen in various applications easier and more economical. Many visitors took the opportunity to find out about the latest developments in the field and to engage in dialogue with our experts.
ADIPEC is an integral part of our exhibition calendar and one of the world's most important energy events. Around 200,000 visitors attended this year's show.
This was the 12th year that we have been able to present our high-tech products at this prestigious platform. Our product highlights included:
For us, ADIPEC is one of the most important exhibitions in the energy sector, and it continues to grow year on year. The high number of visitors from all over the world every day brings many new potential customers and interesting discussions. It's also always nice to meet our long-term customers face-to-face and discuss new developments,
says our local exhibition team.
At the end of the autumn trade fair season, we were represented at the "Big 5 Global" in Dubai for the first time. This leading construction trade fair focuses, among other things, on the building and construction industry and gave us the opportunity to present our VTS®-edgeTubes in various dimensions.
We were able to arouse the visitors' interest in our product. The discussions on site were characterised by openness and mutual exchange.
Many potential customers were impressed by the quality features and possible applications of our VTS®-edgeTubes in the construction sector.
This year's autumn traid faires were a great success. Not only have we been able to strengthen our existing business areas, but we have also made many new contacts and expanded our networks.
We look forward to next year and welcoming our customers back to our stands.
