History of Tube Dusseldorf: how the show became an industry benchmark

Tube Dusseldorf launched in Düsseldorf in 1988. Since then, Tube and wire have been held together at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre and have steadily strengthened their status as leading international trade fairs for the industry.

This “alliance” makes sense for the market: wire, cable, tubes, and processing technologies constantly overlap in real projects, and visitors get more solutions in a single trip.

Why Tube Dusseldorf matters: numbers and scale

Tube Dusseldorf has a strong competitive advantage: it’s a major international platform where the entire sector is visible in one place — from materials and tubes to equipment and quality assurance.

• Exhibitors: 1 207 participating companies.

• Visitors: around 60 000 attendees.

For managers, this means something simple: you’re not “walking past exhibition stands,” you’re collecting solutions and suppliers as if you had an entire international sourcing session at your fingertips.

Visitor tips for Tube Dusseldorf: how to get the most out of it

The scale of the exhibition is impressive. But the best results go to those who manage time and routes.

• Create a personal visit plan. MyOrganizer helps you bookmark stands, contacts, and locations, so you don’t waste hours onsite.

• Install the official Tube app. It includes an interactive map, hall plans, and navigation tools. It’s a lifesaver when meetings are back-to-back.

• Set aside time for forums and the program. The Conferences & Forums section is updated as the show approaches. That’s often where strong practical case studies and true “market signals” appear.

• A quick tip for executives. Midday, take 20 minutes for a short recap: who stood out, what numbers to request, who to bring into negotiations. Otherwise, after the show, everything blends into one big “noise.”
