TUBOTECH represents the South American tube industry in Sao Paulo – a resounding success

What was once just part of WiCAB will become an independent fair for the wire and cable industry as of 2013
The atmosphere at the Imigrantes Exposicoes Exhibition Centre in Sao Paulo was excellent. Satisfied smiles reflect what had already been announced earlier, that the number of exhibitors had risen to 420 (from 320 in 2009). The industry is doing well in South America, and about 18,000 visitors attended the fair (up from 16,500 in 2009) which lasted from 4 - 6 October to discuss and close deals at TUBOTECH in Sao Paulo. read more

WiCAB – the International Wire and Cable Fair – will be held for the first time as part of TUBOTECH 2011 in Sao Paulo, the largest trade fair for the pipe and tube industry in South America

The conditions in Sao Paulo could hardly be more ideal for the topic. According to a report from Germany Trade and Invest, the ongoing boom in Brazil’s construction, automotive and household electronics industries is causing a sharp rise in the demand for steel. Whereas the indigenous industry previously covered more than 90 per cent of the demand, a strong Brazilian currency, coupled with excess capacity on the global market, has increased the share of imports to 28 per cent in 2010. Also in 2010, the expansion of infrastructure, the boom in the construction industry, increasing investment in capital goods, and the lively market for consumer goods gave further impetus to the steel market, which grew by almost 30 per cent – and all the signs point toward further growth in 2011.
