A Partner, Not Just a Supplier


Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our customers by working closely at every stage of the order from the initial inquiry to on-time delivery of the exact product required.

Quality and Mechanical Tests


To assure the highest quality standards, our tubing is subjected to extensive testing and inspection programs that meet or exceed ASTM A270/A1016/A1016M test requirements. Testing includes reverse bend, reverse flattening, and flange tests. Eddy current testing is performed on 100% of the sanitary tube produced.
