Middletown Tube Works has decades of expertise in producing specialty welded steel tubing for automotive, HVAC, appliance, packaging and mining industries. We specialize in highly engineered, severely fabricated and formed tube applications. All products are manufactured to our customers’ exact specifications in dimension, end finish and post fabrication where required.

One of few tube companies in the country that also specializes in coated steel products, we manufacture tubes from Aluminized, Galvanized, Galvannealed, Galvalume, and Zinc Nickel types of steel. We also manufacture Stainless Steel 409, 436 and 439 tube for a higher corrosion-resistant product, as well as non-coated products including Hot Rolled, HRPO and Cold Rolled. When only the best will do, find out why we get the call.

All of our products are manufactured to a minimum of the ASTM specifications (as well as JIS, DIN and OEM specific requirements), and in many cases, we meet customer specifications that are much tighter than industry requirements. In addition, we can cut and end finish to your specifications. Other fabrication may be available upon request.

History

Middletown Tube Works, Inc. was purchased from Armco Steel (now AK Steel) in 1993 by the late Ralph Phillips. Mr. Phillips and his team immediately streamlined the company to provide highly formable coated and non-coated welded steel tube for industries including HVAC, appliance and others.

In 1997, Middletown Tube Works entered the automotive market by offering tubing for the fuel filler application to several Tier 1 and 2 suppliers.

In the years following, Middletown Tube Works expanded its automotive footprint by shipping to Mexico, and later Europe, Australia and China. In 2006, Middletown Tube Works upgraded its Quality system from QS 9000 to ISO/TS 16949 certified to better align with the needs of automotive.

The company also added new products to its automotive lineup, including seating components, exhaust components and fluid systems.

In 2009, following the passing of owner and founder Ralph Phillips, Angela Phillips became owner of all voting stock and moved up from VP to take over managing the operations. After this transition, the company received its WBENC certification in 2010.

As a company, Middletown Tube Works continues to grow as a business and its capabilities. As some competitors cease operations, Middletown’s market share increases.
