Posted: June 25, 2015
UV and corrosion resistant mechanical and structural steel tubing demand is a driving factor for steel tubing manufacturer Steel Tube Inc. (Statesville, NC), which has made the decision to double their capacity to deliver high-quality steel tubing products to customers in the southeast and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.
The manufacturer will be installing a UV clear coating line for galvanized steel tubing, as well as a CNC sawing system that offers high speed ultra-precision cutting with brush deburring capability. This will add additional quality elements to the company’s existing finished product quality standards.
As part of the 32,000 sq ft expansion, Steel Tube will be hiring up to 20 additional employees to meet increased production demands. The expansion also seeks to provide the production flexibility needed to meet aggressive production timelines. The company is slated to begin production of UV resistant galvanized steel tubing in July of this year.
