Tube is the international trade fair for tube and pipe and takes place every two years, alongside wire. In 2026, 1,123 exhibitors showed their products and the show covered about 51,000 m². We photograph tubes, bending machines and testing technology so dimension, surface and function are right in the image, and film the conversations at your stand (booth).

Soft light on polished and brushed tubes, gradients instead of hall reflections.
Calm background and reference part so quantity, diameter and quality are readable.
Machines in operation from a raised position with our own light.
Architecture and lighting before the rush, with no visitors in frame.
Conversations with buyers and engineers in German or English, with subtitles.
Bending, welding and testing as a 30-second highlight and social media clips.
Tubes are simple shapes, and that is exactly what makes them hard to photograph. A polished stainless steel tube shows the whole hall as a reflection, a brushed tube swallows light, and a bundle of identical tubes loses every contour without depth. We work with soft, wide light that creates gradients on the curve instead of reflections, set tubes at an angle that shows length and diameter at once, and shoot end faces, wall thicknesses and weld seams in macro.
With tube bundles and stock, order and scale matter. We keep the background calm so quantity and quality are readable in the image, and add a tape measure or reference part when the diameter counts.
At Tube, machines bend, cut, weld and test tubes. We film the process from loading to the finished part and hold sparks and machine movement in a calm set-up that customers use to judge cycle time and operation. For measuring and testing technology we show display and test piece together in the frame. Conversations with buyers follow, in German or English, delivered with subtitles.
Conferences, forums and topic areas for 2028 are not yet published. If you are announced as a speaker, we cover the appearance once it is fixed.
The show opens for visitors Monday to Thursday from 9:30 to 18:00, on Friday until 16:00. Exhibitors are on the grounds from 8:00, and we use that time for overviews without visitors. If you want to film conversations with new customers, put the session on Monday or Tuesday; detail shots of running machines work best on the quieter Friday.
Because Tube takes place only every two years, your material stays current until the next edition: for product sheets, website, sales and social media clips.
Tell us the date, your stand and what the images are for. You normally get a fixed-price quote within 24 hours, with no hidden line items.
We bring our own equipment, follow an agreed shot list and work discreetly, without interrupting conversations or demos. A first selection is ready while the show day is still running.
Finished photos and video for LinkedIn, PR, your website and social media via a private download link, at the latest 24 hours after the event ends. Two revision rounds included.
From €990 plus VAT for two hours of photo and video on site with at least 30 edited images and a 30-second highlight video. Four hours from €1,490, a full show day from €1,990. Travel to Düsseldorf is included.
With soft, wide light and an angle at which the curve shows gradients instead of reflections. That keeps surface and logo readable, and the neighbouring stand disappears from the picture.
No, one session is enough. Both shows run from 3 to 7 April 2028 on the same grounds, and we cover both stands on the same day. More about the sister show on our wire page.
Yes. We film the process from loading to the finished part without interfering with your demonstration. Arrangements on sparks or safety distance we agree with you beforehand.
Yes. Interviews, briefing and the entire engagement run in English — a large share of our trade fair clients come from outside Germany. Invoices with VAT ID for EU companies, no German VAT for companies outside the EU.
Send us your hall, stand number and the tubes or machines you want to feature. We will propose a time window and a fixed-price quote.
We normally reply within 24 hours. For short-notice bookings during a show week, please call.
