Whatever the application, the key requirement is
meeting the high-performance criteria required in
the most hostile environments, thereby minimising
the risk to the operator and reducing the ultimate
cost of ownership by manufacturing to the very
highest accuracy, quality and integrity.
The industry’s growing optimism was evident at the
recent ADIPEC exhibition in Abu Dhabi where Fine
Tubes showcased its latest range of high performance
products. The Fine Tubes booth experienced an
unexpectedly high number of visitors and generated
strong interest in the company’s portfolio of
precision tubes in stainless steel, titanium and nickel
alloys. Numerous successful meetings indicated
a cautious optimism and that the downturn is
approaching its end.
AMETEK SMP - the division of which Fine Tube is a
part – is a global leader in the manufacture of a range
of specialty metal products, ranging from precision
metal tubes, high-purity strip, foil, ultra-thin foil,
shaped wire, high-purity metal powders, master
alloys and clad metals. All of the six companies
within SMP are niche specialists wit h a record of
serving the oil and gas industry. The breadth of
what SMP offers as a one-stop solution provider of
specialty metal solutions for critical applications is
yet another string to the bow of Fine Tubes as the
company prepares itself for the upturn.
