07/22/2025 - Fives supplied a fully automatic Bronx straightener for high-yield seamless tubes to a customer in the United Arab Emirates and commissioned a section straightener for a customer in the shipbuilding industry in Canada.
The United Arab Emirates customer is preparing to scale up production at its newly established tube mill. The machine, designed for the oil and gas sector, handles stainless steel tubes ranging from 3.5- to 11.2-inch diameters with thicknesses up to 1.5 inches. The machine replaces manual straightening methods for improvements in operator safety, production efficiency and accuracy, the company said.
