WELDED TUBES

Welded Tubes was incorporated and opened in 1958, in Orwell, Ohio by the Lewis family of Warren, Ohio. The Ashtabula County plant had previously been owned and operated by the Brainard Steel Company (Sharon Steel), as a tube manufacturing facility. Re-opened as WTI, the management initially planned to manufacture and supply carbon steel tubing to the automotive industry. Unfortunately, due to timing issues, the U.S. economy was in the beginning of a recession that affected the auto industry adversely, forcing WTI to diversity and look to other manufacturing areas. Welded Tubes began supplying the Floor Care Industry with high quality vacuum cleaner handles and wands. Because this product needed to be of high quality for fabrication and plating purposes, this business partnership proved to be an excellent match. By 1965, vacuum wand and handles were the primary and largest market segment for the company, and stayed that way for almost 30 years... Welded Tubes, Inc. is committed to..
