UK-based Fine Tubes and US-based Superior Tube, manufacturers and suppliers of precision tubes for critical applications, have both been awarded contracts by leading airframe manufacturer, Airbus, of Toulouse, France.
For Fine Tubes, the award represents not just an extension of its long-standing relationship with Airbus, but also a greater share of the aircraft manufacturer’s total tubing requirements, particularly hydraulic tubing, in stainless steel and titanium.
For Superior Tube, a long-term supplier to other major manufacturers in the aerospace industry, the contract is its first opportunity to supply Airbus with tubes manufactured at the company’s plant in Collegeville, Pennsylvania.
