Innovation meets exchange – voestalpine Tubulars at the 2026 spring trade fairs

Our participation at EGYPS, held from March 30 to April 2, 2026, in Cairo, focused on innovation and transformation in the energy sector across Africa and the Mediterranean region. In addition to our proven premium products such as VAsuperior®, DryTec®, and VAxplorer®, we also presented our latest Proprietary Connection: VAtitan®‑SF, which, with its semi‑flush technology, supports the oil and gas industry in accessing energy and raw material resources even more efficiently.

On the one hand, numerous visitors took the opportunity to learn about our solutions firsthand; on the other, we were able to further deepen the intensive exchange with existing partners and jointly discuss concrete application cases.

The trade fair days at TUBE 2026 were characterized by strong interest in voestalpine Tubulars products, intensive exchanges on an equal footing, and numerous reunions with long-standing customers and partners—many of whom have developed personal relationships over the years. As the world’s leading trade fair for the tube industry and a permanent fixture in the exhibition calendar for more than two decades, the TUBE 2026 provides the ideal platform for discussions away from the daily business routine and for initiating new collaborations.

The impressive product exhibition area reflected the full breadth of the portfolio—from seamless round tubes for Industrial Applications to solutions for Oil & Gas and sustainable energy, as well as the VTS® edgeTubes, which continue to attract significant attention. Innovative hydrogen storage solutions were also in focus, making an important contribution to the energy transition and prompting numerous in-depth technical discussions.

This year’s NASCC Steel Conference in Atlanta provided an excellent platform for professional exchange among experts, engineers, and leading representatives of the industry. The focus was on the design and construction of steel structures and bridges, as well as on innovative developments and new solutions in Steel constructions—featuring, among others, our VTS®-edgeTubes.

Our seamless square and rectangular Hollow Sections impressed with their precise corner radius, clearly defined design of outside corner, and high-quality surface finish. In particular, the seamless design and the product characteristics visible at first glance generated strong interest and enthusiasm among visitors.
