Straightening & finishing

Handling & packing

Straightening and finishing professionals contribute some of the most advanced technologies and machines in the tube and pipe industry. A coil of tubing is a precious commodity that demands no less than the best from all those who perform the demanding tasks of turning it to its purposes, and the machines that accomplish this task need to be amazingly powerful yet accurate and able to make the most subtle of changes to all shapes and thicknesses of tube.

This section reviews products and services from the companies who must ensure the quality output of a modern state-of-the- art tube and pipe mill arrives in perfect condition. Handling and packaging companies know that the only acceptable tubular is the one that reaches the customer in mint condition, protected from any damage, especially when the sometimes hugely expensive machine or product has travelled to the furthest corners of the globe.
