PTC Alliance is a leading manufacturer and marketer of welded and cold drawn mechanical steel tubing and tubular shapes, fabricated parts and precision components. Major markets include steel service centers, automotive and truck, construction and agricultural equipment, machinery and appliances. To optimize service levels for each of theses sectors, the company has created three distinct, market-focused commercial groups - Automotive and Truck, Service Centers, and OEM - each with a dedicated team of experienced specialists.With ten strategically located tube facilities in North America, manufacturing locations are close to the customers, minimizing shipping time and expense. Multiple locations also ensure maximum flexibility in production planning, a major advantage when lead times are particularly short, or customer emergencies arise. Technology sharing among all producing plants, adoption of "best practices" throughout the manufacturing network, and dedicated employee-owners are enabling each operation to become the highest-quality, lowest-cost producer within its tube-manufacturing range.Because consistent product quality, shipment after shipment, is a major priority for every customer, PTC Alliance has invested heavily in the development and implementation of a Quality System designed to provide that consistency, while ensuring full compliance with ISO 9002 and QS 9000 requirements.Tubing products produced in North America include: high-quality ERW tubing, ERW hot stretched reduced (HSR) tubing, drawn-over-mandrel (DOM) tubing, 512 PLUS mechanical tubing, and fabricated tubular products. Through the integration of all North American manufacturing facilities, mechanical steel tubing is now available in sizes ranging from outside diameters of .625 inches to 10.75 inches, and walls from .035 inches to .700 inches.
Comprehensive capabilities in finishing and fabricating are also a company hallmark, and the PTC Alliance Value added Parts and Components Group can provide additional metalworking services - from single parts to partial or complete assemblies - that can shorten lead time, improve product quality, reduce inventory and provide measurable cost savings.Engineering solutions for some of today's most demanding manufacturing challenges is business as usual at PTC Alliance, where an ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction is shared by every engineer, every operator, and every sales and customer representative.
