VTS®-edgeTubes
Seamless squaring the circle
VTS®-edgeTubes are seamless square and rectangular hollow sections that are primarily used in agriculture, constructions, mechanical engineering and mobility.
Discover the world of seamless hot-rolled hollow sections from voestalpine Tubulars and experience quality, reliability and innovation at first hand.
voestalpine Tubulars has many years of experience in the production of seamless round tubes and stands for quality, flexibility and safety. We will thus be able to produce hot-rolled seamless square and rectangular hollow sections up to 20 mm wall thickness.
