About Michel Tube
Michel Tube Engineering GmbH is a family-run manufacturer and system supplier for tube and hose systems with a focus on pneumatic conveying technology. The portfolio comprises more than 3,500 products: round tubes in stainless steel, aluminium and glass, tube bends, tube fittings, tube connectors, tube couplings, conveying hoses, hose couplings, suction lances, magnetic separators, material containers and assembly hardware. In-house production capacities exist in laser tube cutting, 2D laser cutting, laser welding, CNC tube bending, robotic welding as well as turning and milling – also as contract manufacturing including CAD programming and assembly production. Headquarters and production are located in Tauberbischofsheim (Industriepark A81) with 4,000 m² of warehouse space; a second production site near Frankfurt am Main manufactures tube couplings and tube connectors. Customers come predominantly from the plastics processing and bulk solids industries, as well as automotive, medical technology, chemicals, machinery and silo plant engineering. Worldwide delivery is carried out via distribution and trading partners in North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and Australia.
