About K-Tube

About our company

K-Tube Technologies started small. We were the first company to figure out a way to miniaturize laser welding for hypodermic needle production, and, at first, most of our tubing was made for dental needles.

Over the years, our tubing has been used in medical, industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications. So, while the needs of K-Tube’s customers are different than they were when we started in 1974, the need for high-quality custom tubing manufactured to exacting specifications has remained a constant.

Today, K-Tube’s available capacity is over 100 million feet of tubing every year, making us the largest producer of stainless steel tubing in the United States. Despite our size, the inventive spirit of our first machinist and engineer- Herb- still lives in everything we do. We have a team of engineers who help design unique tubing solutions and a Quality Assurance team that is prepared to guarantee that each tube leaving our facility is manufactured to the highest standards in the industry.
