Fine Tubes And Superior Tube Are Awarded Contracts By Airbus
UK-based Fine Tubes and US-based Superior Tube, global suppliers of precision tubes for critical applications, have both been awarded contracts by leading airframe manufacturer, Airbus
Over the course of the contract, Fine Tubes’ Plymouth facility will manufacture the tubing and ship it to Airbus sub-contractors worldwide.
