What Arrow Fabricated Tubing, Ltd does

Arrow Fabricated Tubing, Ltd. is a privately held US industrial manufacturer specializing in fabricated copper and aluminum tube components for the HVAC industry, operating from a 150,000 sq. ft., two-plant footprint in Garland, Texas with an additional support facility in Monterrey, Mexico. The company produces manifolds, fabricated tubing, return bends, crossovers, and complex brazed assemblies (including mixed copper/aluminum configurations) for Residential and Commercial HVAC manufacturers, with weekly output described in the millions of units. Its core technology stack combines proprietary robotics, automated and manual braze stations, an in-house ProE (Pro/ENGINEER) modeling tooling center, and specialized processes (Gas Flux, Nitrogen purging, helium leak testing) that the company positions as delivering the cleanest products and unmatched quality in the North American market. The firm also provides co-design engineering support, PPAP and certification processes for smaller runs, and custom fixture and tooling development to meet customer-specific alloy, diameter, and tubing thickness specifications.

Commercially, Arrow runs a direct B2B sales motion with quote-based, customer-specific pricing and engineering-led engagement targeting HVAC OEM coil manufacturers. Revenue is generated from one-time transactional sales of fabricated tubing products spanning both high-volume production runs and smaller custom orders, with no disclosed recurring or licensing component. The company has been ISO 9001:2015 certified company-wide, was founded as a metal service center in 1978, and has focused exclusively on the fabricated copper and aluminum tube components market since 1999. Ownership is described as founder/management-held, with three long-tenured leaders bringing over a century of collective industry experience and no external parent or investment identified in the source material.
