Players are oiling their gloves and taking to the field. When it’s time to step up to the plate, if they are playing at the T-ball through college level, chances are batters will grab an aluminum bat that started out as drawn tubing from one of Hydro Aluminum North America’s three drawn tubing plants.

Every year, we produce over 150,000,000 lineal feet of drawn tubing, making us the country’s largest supplier. America’s two largest aluminum bat manufacturers rely on us for quality tubing that can stand up to the impact of a 90 mph fastball.

Our drawn tubing is also used in luxury leisure furniture, wheelchairs and laser printer OPC (organic photoconductor) tubing, among many other products. When manufacturers require precision drawn tubing that meets the most critical specifications, they rely on Hydro.

The next time you’re at a ballgame where aluminum bats are used, listen for the "ping" of the bat. That’s the sound of Hydro Aluminum North America in action.
