Bear Tubular has supplied the heavy industrial market with complete piping packages ‘ seamless and welded pipe and tubing, fittings, flanges, valves, actuators, and related items ‘ since 1981. Its offerings in carbon and stainless steel are suited to a variety of applications, including petrochemical/refining, power generation (steam and electric), process (food, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper), general construction, maritime, and waste/water management.
Red Man has made a significant investment in the Northeastern industrial markets by expanding its local presence and inventory. A new store there, a 19,680-square-foot facility with an acre of pipe yard, in Edison, NJ, has until now operated solely as a major valve and valve accessory distributor to the gas transmission and distribution market.
Red Man has also in recent years renovated its inventory offering in the Northeast, adding a complete line of carbon steel pipe, valves, fittings and flanges.
