An Introduction to Tubeway (sales) LTD

Tubeway Extrusions is the extrusion specialist arm of Tubeway Sales, aimed at supporting Tubeway Sales Ltd who have supplied the trade and Retail DIY industry since 1957. Tubeway Extrusions specialise in supplying customers requiring made to order runs (generally 500m+) where a quick lead time and access to a range of colours is key.

Based on the ever-changing needs of the industry, Tubeway Extrusions is established to specifically focus on customers requiring tailored production runs and bespoke custom tooling. With advancing technologies, the way information disseminated to the customer evolved from adverts and directories to web-based sources, Tubeway Extrusions led the way with simple line drawings and fully available tooling listed in detail. The website was updated with technical information that supports the extensive and hard-worn experience of our sales team.

Unlike 3rd party resellers, at Tubeway Extrusions our sales team are located at the factory where our products are made, giving quick resolution of technical queries and any questions over your production orders. Built on 60 years’ experience in plastic manufacturing we’re able to offer understanding and advice that could prove critical in the design process, leading to the creation of a profile that fully meets your needs.

Our in-house tooling capability allows us to produce many of our dies and formers in-house, for those of a slightly more complex technical nature we have long established links with tooling partners who fully understand our need and machinery.

We take great pride in the extrusion work we do and would welcome the opportunity to talk you through the finer detail if needed. We have attempted to break down the complexity and provide a topline summary of the key features of the process, this can be found on our Custom Production page.
