Custom Steel Manufacturing
More Than a Steel Tube Supplier
Value-Added Manufacturing That Keeps Your Production Moving.
At Imperial Steel, we do more than manufacture steel tubing—we help simplify your production process.
Our specialized manufacturing services eliminate the need for additional suppliers by performing secondary operations in-house. The result is a finished component that’s ready for the next stage of production, reducing handling, shortening lead times and helping improve manufacturing efficiency.
Whether you’re building agricultural equipment, automotive components or custom industrial products, our experienced team works with you to deliver precision-manufactured tubing that meets your exact specifications.
Why Value-Added Manufacturing Matters
Every additional manufacturing step adds time, cost and complexity.
By combining steel tube manufacturing with specialized processing, Imperial Steel helps customers:
- Reduce secondary handling
- Minimize transportation between suppliers
- Improve production efficiency
- Shorten lead times
- Reduce labour costs
- Receive components ready for assembly
- Maintain consistent quality throughout every production run
Instead of coordinating multiple vendors, you can rely on one experienced manufacturing partner from start to finish.
Our Specialized Manufacturing Capabilities
Tube Flaring
Tube flaring expands the end of a tube to create a secure connection with mating components. This process is commonly used in exhaust systems, fluid transfer applications and assemblies that require precise fitment and dependable performance. Our equipment produces consistent, repeatable results that meet demanding production standards.
Tube Lipping
Lipping forms a rolled edge at the end of a tube to improve assembly, increase strength and create a clean finished appearance. This process can also help improve component fit while reducing sharp edges during handling and assembly.
Tube Reducing
Tube reducing decreases the outside diameter at one end of the tube, allowing components of different sizes to connect seamlessly. This operation is ideal for applications requiring compact assemblies while maintaining structural integrity and reliable performance.
Tube Swedging
Swedging is used to reshape the end of a tube by reducing or expanding its diameter without compromising strength.
This process creates smooth transitions between components and is widely used in agricultural equipment, automotive systems and industrial manufacturing. Our precision manufacturing ensures accurate dimensions and consistent repeatability from one production run to the next.
Custom Cutting & Lengths
Every manufacturing operation is different.
Imperial Steel supplies tubing cut to your exact specifications, reducing waste, eliminating additional processing and helping improve production efficiency. Whether you require standard production lengths or custom dimensions, our team can manufacture tubing that fits seamlessly into your operation.
