We can produce high-quality porthole drawn tubing to match all of your design and performance requirements. We have unmatched capabilities, over 45 years of aluminum drawn tube experience, and produce more porthole drawn tubing than anyone else in North America. And, we are committed to this market. Over the last few years, we have made nearly $2 million in capital investments to upgrade our drawn tubing lines; to increase capacity, streamline operations, and further enhance quality.
We get involved early in the design process and collaborate with customers to develop the perfect tubing solution. Our adjacent casthouses can produce tailored alloys ideally suited for the cold drawn tubing process. Our own extrusion presses produce the tube stock. And we provide a wide array of secondary operations, including full assembly of final products, and numerous finish options. We control the entire process and are truly a one-stop-shop for all of your drawn tubing needs!
