Supply chain issues, mill closures, reduced availability, labor shortages, and price fluctuations have faced the mechanical tubing industry over the past few years. In order to keep your operation running smoothly, it is crucial to ensure that your tubing distributor has the inventory, expertise, and services you need.
Material Availability for Mechanical Tubing
As demand for mechanical tubing continues to outpace supply, manufacturers are often overcapacity. This has been causing many distributors to struggle to meet industry demands for the past few years. Due to the shortage, mill capacity is limited, and supplies are limited, pushing mechanical tubing prices well above historical levels.
In order to minimize the impact of supply shortages, distributors need to work with a wide variety of mills. An excellent example of this is IBC. Our ability to stay ahead of supply chain issues. And maintain a healthy inventory of tubing ensures you are never running out of materials because we work with mills and suppliers across the country and internationally.

Customers are discovering that their suppliers don’t possess the industry experience necessary to provide the mechanical tubing they need for their application(s).
