Pipe Exhibition 2026 knows that massive geopolitical challenges, disrupted supply chains, high tariffs and scarce raw materials. Yet the Düsseldorf Fairgrounds were buzzing with activity.

People were discussing, developing and rethinking. Here, an entire industry demonstrated its unwavering determination to actively shape the future and break new ground.  Resilient materials are needed, including for the defence industry; the market requires reliable producers and is relying on new supply chains. This is where wire and Tube, as powerful industry platforms, came in at just the right time.

The defence sector is gaining in importance; new visitor groups flocked to the exhibition stands, finding concrete solutions for high demands on materials and quality. Added to this was a supporting programme featuring exciting premieres.

Pipe Exhibition 2026 learned that the trade fair as a vibrant industry event: tradition and the future go hand in Düsseldorf. 2,600 exhibitors from 65 countries – proof of international appeal and a clear claim to leadership. 

Alongside this, the entire value chain was showcased across some 119,000 square metres in 16 exhibition halls. The focus is always on the future: artificial intelligence, robotics, renewable energies and the energy transition were not just buzzwords, but lived reality. 

Trade fair visitors came to Düsseldorf from 130 countries, with traditional and entirely new target groups flocking to the exhibition halls in equal measure.

What remains is more than just a successful trade fair event; it is a feeling: this is where the future is taking shape. From 3 to 7 April 2028, wire and Tube are ready to continue their success story in Düsseldorf. www.wire.de; www.Tube.de, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/wire-and-tube leading-international-trade-fairs/.
