Now in its 10th edition, it has become a consistent stop for buyers and manufacturers sourcing stainless steel flanges, pipe accessories, and sanitary fittings in the Middle East. The show offers a gateway into Iran’s industrial market and surrounding regions, especially for those looking to connect with OEMs, builders, and contractors in infrastructure, utilities, and energy projects. While smaller in scale compared to European expos, PIVEX gives you access to a very specific regional buyer base — making it a strategic opportunity for niche sales or partnerships. 2.
