Hydrogen ramp-up in Germany: Current status and priorities of the new BMWE
10.06.2025
With the expansion of the hydrogen core network, Germany is currently laying the foundations for an efficient supply of hydrogen in the country. At the same time, regional model initiatives are taking place in many places to establish practical hydrogen solutions and thus successfully build bridges to commercial use.
New Engineering Approaches for Adaptable, Autonomous Production Systems – Impulses for the Mechanical and Plant Engineering Sector
27.05.2025
In today’s industrial landscape—shaped by supply bottlenecks, workforce shortages, and fluctuating market demands—companies in mechanical and plant engineering, such as those represented at wire & Tube, face the challenge of making their production more resilient, flexible, and future-ready.
Hydrogen Production in the USA
12.05.2025
The hydrogen economy is gaining momentum worldwide, but approaches differ significantly between countries. Unlike Europe, which clearly focuses on green hydrogen, the USA pursues a pragmatic, technology-open approach. Currently, blue hydrogen plays a more significant role there. However, green hydrogen is seen as a long-term goal with growing importance.
Vision 2030 in Steel: Saudi Arabia's Metal Industry in Global Competition
22.04.2025
In recent decades, Saudi Arabia has evolved from a pure oil producer to a country with an increasingly diversified economy. A central component of this economic transformation is the development of its own steel industry.
Saudi Arabia: Oil Exporter and Hydrogen Hope
16.04.2025
The first Metal Flow Alliance Saudi Arabia will take place in Riyadh from May 5 to 7. While the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula has primarily been known as an oil exporter, it has been developing into a hydrogen superpower in recent years.
Digital transformation: Smart building with BIM
11.04.2025
Building Information Modelling (BIM), an intelligent, 3D model-based method for the digital planning, execution and management of buildings, is becoming increasingly important in the infrastructure sector. It is also playing a key role in the digital transformation of building construction, water management and pipeline construction.
Increased cyber security standards required by new machinery regulation
28.03.2025
Against the backdrop of increasing digitalization, software components in machines and devices are taking up more and more space. The EU has responded to this with the new Machinery Regulation (MVO), which replaces the previous Machinery Directive after a transitional period.
Eurasia in Focus: Steel, Economy and the Strategic Role of Turkey
18.03.2025
The Eurasian region, at the intersection of Europe and Asia, is gaining increasing economic significance. Turkey plays a strategically decisive role as a bridge between the continents.
The Hydrogen Economy in Turkey
03.03.2025
Turkey signed the Paris Climate Agreement in October 2021 after long resistance, as the last OECD and G20 country to do so. With this, the country commits to becoming net emission-free by 2053. To achieve this, the government is primarily focusing on hydro and wind power. However, the construction of nuclear power plants and hydrogen should also play a role.
Condition assessment and integrity of pipelines
11.02.2025
Pipeline networks with a length of more than three million kilometers cover our globe. They ensure the safe, efficient and cost-effective transportation of energy resources – such as crude oil, natural gas or water – across continents and make a significant contribution to a stable supply situation.
