Tubes Ltd
Chris Mann, Top Tubes’ Sales Director, joins us to share a more detailed overview of the company’ s services:“ The main element of what we do is rolling electric resistance welding( ERW) precision tubes. We supply the market with around 40,000 tons of tube each year. In addition, we also have a fleet of five laser cutting machines, which enable us to provide various tube cutting operations for customers.” Thanks to its turn-key solutions, Top Tubes supplies a wide array of industries, including automotive, agricultural, temporary fencing, healthcare and furniture. As Chris points out:“ It’ s a wide scope representing a huge variety of applications.”
Continuing, Chris elaborates on the advantages to offering these services in house:“ We’ re the only company in the UK that can slit coil, roll ERW precision tube, and laser process the tubes under one roof. This enables us to have the highest levels of quality assurance across all our processes by ensuring only the highest quality materials are used.
“ Additionally, we also maintain our own extensive logistics fleet, enabling us to cover the entirety of the UK. Having the full suite of services in-house allows us significant flexibility and effectiveness when dealing with customer demands, eliminating frustrations or disappointments from third parties which might let our customers down. This means we can provide our clients with an unrivalled service. In the UK for example, there are numerous businesses that can slit coil, one other tube manufacturer, and many suppliers of laser cut tubes, none of these businesses though, are able to offer one unified solution under a single roof, whereas we can.”
With the business going from strength to strength, part of its success has been driven by investment in laser cutting services.
