Tube, fittings, flanges and bar for fabrication and industrial piping
Skids, distribution networks, high-pressure piping: you need everything, in a single order. Welded and seamless tube, butt-weld fittings, flanges, bar — in the common grades and in the ones your usual supplier doesn't hold.
Urgent: 48 hours Standard from partner stock: 5 working days From one metre
What you come to us for
Usually a shortfall. A line on the bill of materials that was never ordered, a flange that doesn't match the drawing, a metre too few discovered during assembly. The rest of the time, a full enquiry on a skid or a network, where the issue is no longer availability but consistency: the same certificates, the same grade throughout, the same contact if a line slips.
Then there is the grade that falls outside your usual distributor's range. A duplex, a 904L, a 316Ti in an unusual size. That is the case where price stops being the question and the only thing that matters is whether anyone can find it for you.
What we supply
Our European supply agreements cover the common grades in welded and seamless tube, butt-weld fittings, flanges and bar, with EN 10204 3.1 material certificates. For less common grades we canvass our partner stocks and, where the volume justifies it, our four partner mills.
We hold no stock of our own. That is what lets us look for the best source for your requirement rather than sell you what is sitting in our racks — and why we quote 5 working days as standard rather than next-day delivery.

The grades listed are the most common in this industry, not a closed list. Every piping grade belongs to one of our nine families; if yours doesn't appear here, it is not outside our scope.

Frequently asked questions
- Can you supply a whole bill of materials, or only tube?
- The whole piping bill of materials: tube, butt-weld fittings, flanges and bar. It is in fact the most common case — ordering the full line from one supplier avoids grade and certificate mismatches between batches.
- What is your minimum order quantity?
- There is none as a matter of principle. We handle a single metre as readily as a multi-tonne order. What changes between the two is the supply route and therefore the lead time, not our willingness to quote.
- Do you deliver on an urgent basis?
- Yes, within 48 hours on sizes available from partner stock. The standard non-urgent lead time is 5 working days from order confirmation. We would rather quote a lead time we can hold than a flattering one.
- Do you supply material certificates?
- Yes, EN 10204 3.1 material certificates with the goods. If your specification calls for a 3.2 or documented Melt & Pour traceability, say so at enquiry stage: that is arranged upstream, not at delivery.
