At Superior Tube we manufacturer precision metal tubes products which play a crucial role for customers in the aerospace, nuclear, oil and gas, power generation and medical equipment industries. We are a friendly company with a supportive atmosphere and a reputation for innovation. Superior Tube is a progressive organization, where best practice is always encouraged.
While our tube mill aims to produce metal tubes that meet the exact needs of customers, and we work with a range of stakeholders on a daily basis, we feel that our responsibilities go far beyond business. We care about our customers, of course, but also our employees, local community and suppliers. In all our activities, it’s important to us that we trade ethically and protect the environment, while complying with US and local laws as well as international conventions.
Alongside supplying high quality precision tubes to engineering companies around the world, we aim to meet our social responsibilities and to eliminate the effects our work has on the environment.
We have systems and procedures in place to ensure that we meet our corporate responsibilities, and regularly review our activities with that goal in mind. Our senior management team meets to set targets with SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) objectives, and reviews how well we’ve achieved objectives set in previous meetings.
