Bangkok, southeast Asia’s biggest, most international exhibition for the medical and healthcare industry. Focused on equipment and supplies for the hospital, diagnostic, pharmaceutical, medical and rehabilitation sectors. Lawton Tubes took brave steps to seek customers in a brand new territory knowing full well it would be American standard medical gas copper tubes (ASTM B819) rather than the European (EN13448) it is so nominate in.

Thanks to Fasttrack, Sunday Times and HSBC for the recognition, article in the Sunday Times newspaper and a great networking evening hosted in London networking like minded entrepreneurs. 2019 will be a great year for Lawton Tubes and its exporting of copper pipes for the various projects in particular medical gas and air conditioning applications.
