A successful Tool and
Die entrepreneur since 1967, Mr. Phillips acquired the Barker Tower
Company, a steel fabricator for the residential TV antenna tower
business in 1974, expanding his capabilities to machining, fabrication
and tube producing. Phillips continued to purchase equipment and
businesses to expand his offering and ability to meet customers'
needs. In 1980, Mr. Phillips purchased equipment from Ohio Steel
Tube to open Shelby Welded Tube.
Seizing an opportunity
to serve customers in the South, Phillips purchased the assets of
Hedstrom Industries in Dothan, Alabama, which became Dothan Tubular
Products.
In 1983, Mr. Phillips
acquired the steel tubing division of Armco LLP in Middletown, Ohio,
naming it Middletown Tube

an integral part of the business. Mr. Phillips assures every customer's
needs are met, encourages innovation and creativity, and fosters
a family work environment where employees are respected and valued.
