Precision Metal Tubing
As an industry leader, we produce more than 30 million feet of medical-grade metal tubing each year.
Expertise You Can Count On
Dating back to our founding as Uniform Tubes in 1940, we have over 80 years of precision tube manufacturing. In 1999, we extended our tube-drawing skills to include nitinol. We now produce more than 150,000 feet of nitinol tubes annually.
