electrical conduit production.
Conduits primarily serve as protective
enclosures for electrical wires and cables
in residential, commercial, and industrial
installations. Ongoing infrastructure in-
vestment in multiple regions is increasing
demand for conduit products and placing
new capacity and efficiency requirements
on tube manufacturers.
