G.B.C. Industrial Tools will participate in Tube Düsseldorf 2026, the world’s leading trade fair dedicated to the tube industry, scheduled from April 13 to 17 at Messe Düsseldorf. The GBC team will welcome you at stand 6C17, Hall 6, showcasing the complete range of flange facing machines, pipe beveling machines and pipe cutting machines for cold mechanical machining, with an operating range from 1″ to 100″.
Tube 2026: the global benchmark for the tube industry
From April 13 to 17, 2026, Tube Düsseldorf 2026 returns to Messe Düsseldorf as an essential event for companies involved in the production and processing of metal tubes. The organizers define it as “the world’s leading trade fair for the tube industry,” and the figures from the previous edition confirm this position: 1,200 exhibitors from 54 countries across more than 52,000 m² of exhibition space, with over 31,000 professional visitors from 134 countries
The event runs in parallel with Wire Düsseldorf: together, the two exhibitions host approximately 2,700 exhibitors from 65 countries. The audience consists almost exclusively of technical professionals and decision-makers: those who visit Tube are looking for concrete solutions, not simple displays.
For professionals in tube processing, it is difficult to imagine a more specialized environment: within the same hall you can meet tube manufacturers, machinery and equipment suppliers, distributors, and technical managers operating in oil & gas, plant engineering, shipbuilding, and nuclear sectors.
GBC at Tube 2026: Stand 6C17, Hall 6
We are pleased to confirm the participation of G.B.C. Industrial Tools in the next edition of Tube. You will find us at stand 6C17, Hall 6, for all five days of the exhibition.
The GBC team will be available to answer technical questions, analyze specific operational needs, and discuss tailor-made solutions. Our goal is to understand how each company operates in practice and to identify the equipment best suited to real working conditions.
To schedule a meeting in advance and ensure dedicated time, you can write to gbaiguera@gbcspa.com. Our team responds promptly to arrange appointments according to your availability. In the meantime, you can consult the GBC online catalogs for an initial overview of the product range.
The GBC range for tube processing
At the stand, we will present GBC solutions for cold mechanical cutting and beveling of metal tubes, with an operating range covering diameters from 1″ to 100″.
Pipe cutting and beveling machines: from 1″ to 100″
The MCA Cutter series handles pipes from 1″ to 43″ and is particularly suitable for distribution networks and mid-stream applications. For larger diameters, the Supercutter reaches up to 60″, while the Hypercutter allows machining up to 100″ thanks to hydraulic drive. All GBC pipe cutting machines integrate external profile copying systems that compensate for possible ovalization and irregularities of the pipe, maintaining consistent bevel geometry along the entire circumference
The pipe beveling machines cover diameters from 10.3 mm up to large-size pipes, with internal or external clamping depending on the application and various drive options: electric, pneumatic, hydraulic, and brushless.
Why cold mechanical machining makes the difference
The main technical advantage common to the entire GBC range is the absence of a heat-affected zone. In both cutting and beveling operations, cold mechanical machining removes material using tools, without generating heat and without altering the metallurgical properties of the base material. This aspect is particularly relevant for special steels such as duplex, super duplex, and Inconel: even minimal surface thermal alteration can trigger localized corrosion phenomena, compromising joint integrity.
Cold cutting also ensures a clean section, free from the deformations or burrs typical of thermal methods such as plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, which often require reworking before welding. With GBC pipe cutting machines, this additional step is not necessary: the pipe is immediately ready for the next stage.
Proper edge preparation according to UNI EN ISO 9692 requires dimensional accuracy and consistent repeatability. GBC machines ensure cutting angles, facing operations, standard and J-bevels, combined bevels, and special-angle bevels that are always precise and uniform, regardless of the material processed: carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, or Inconel.
This is precisely the type of technology sought by professionals in the sectors represented at Tube: pipeline, oil & gas, plant engineering, and shipbuilding, where an imprecise bevel represents a concrete structural risk.
How to schedule a meeting at Tube 2026
