Heavy Metal & Tubes has a clear vision and has invested in cutting-edge technology and top talent to consistently deliver products that exceed customer expectations. The company produces seamless carbon, alloy, and stainless steel tubes and pipes. Starting from round bars, HMT offers tubes and pipes in both hot finish and cold finish, with a wide range of diameters, wall thicknesses, and lengths. With its unique capabilities and strong market position, HMT is a significant player in the domestic market and is steadily gaining recognition internationally. One key factor behind the company’ s remarkable success and its differentiation from competitors is its ability to produce a wide variety of tubes and pipes in different grades, thicknesses, sizes, and lengths— all under one brand.“ No one else in India is doing what we do,” says Mr. Mathur.“ That’ s why we describe ourselves as a perfect blend of quality and integrity.”
Over four decades of excellence“ Heavy Metal & Tubes has a rich history and strong reputation,” says Mr. Sandeep Kumar Mathur. Established in 1978, it was among the pioneers of colddrawn tube manufacturing in India for carbon and alloy steel. The company started producing commercial-grade
cold-drawn seamless carbon steel tubes in Mumbai during the late 1970s and opened a second plant in Ankleshwar, Gujarat, in 1982. It quickly evolved into a dedicated producer of high-quality products for critical industries like refineries, petrochemicals, power plants, fertilizers, and chemicals. By 1991, firmly established as a reliable producer, HMT invested in two new manufacturing facilities at Chhatral, Gujarat, focused on seamless carbon and alloy steel tubes and stainless steel seamless and welded tubes. These investments positioned the company to meet the surge in demand following the liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991 and capture a significant share of the growing Indian market.
Fuelling growth In recent developments, Heavy Metal and Tubes further strengthened its technological capabilities by introducing cutting-edge machinery for seamless tube production of both carbon / alloy and stainless. This initiative also ensured the integration of a state-of-the-art piercer machine and the expansion of its pilger machine fleet to 30 units for the stainless steel division. Accompanying these advancements is the incorporation of a heavy-duty draw bench for seamless carbon and alloy steel tubes with heavy wall thickness.
