Hollow Bars


We offer a fully bespoke supply service for hollow bars where we produce products to our customer's requirements.

We work with machining partners to supply hollows in alloys such as aluminium, stainless steel, brass and copper, providing an attractive material alternative to off the shelf tubes. Our products offer similar strength to solid bars but are lighter and often less expensive, while providing similar performance capabilities.

Our hollow range of products gives our customers options regarding materials and overall performance.
