Texas Tubular Products

What Texas Tubular Products does

Texas Tubular Products, Inc. (TTP) is a U.S. manufacturer and distributor of Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) carbon steel pipe, operating as a division of Friedman Industries, Inc. Founded in 1978 in Lone Star, Texas, the company runs two ERW pipe mills on a 70-acre site, producing seam-annealed carbon steel pipe in sizes 4-1/2" through 8-5/8" O.D. to ASTM A500B, ASTM A53 Grade B Type E, API 5L X52 PSL-2, and "No Grade" specifications, while distributing new mill secondary (reject) pipe from 2-3/8" through 16" O.D. TTP also offers value-added services including off-line lacquering, bundling, machine and torch beveling, square cut ends, and coordinated fusion bond epoxy (FBE) coating through an adjacent third-party facility (A&A Coating, Inc.).

The company serves three primary end markets: industrial construction (pipe piling, road bore casing, slurry lines, and general construction), the energy/line pipe market (API-certified pipe for oil and gas transportation, with over 20 years of API 5L X52 PSL-2 supply), and fabrication and manufacturing customers using steel pipe as raw material. Its competitive positioning rests on API 5CT and 5L certifications, dual ERW mills, the co-located FBE coating partner, and a broad inventory of both new prime and new mill secondary pipe.

TTP's business model is sales-led and quote-based, with no public pricing, no e-commerce, and no self-serve channel. Customers engage through a toll-free number (800-270-4856), email ([email protected]), or website contact forms. Fulfillment is direct via truck (same-day loading for trucks received by 3 p.m.) and KCS rail, with shipping confined to the domestic U.S. market. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of pipe and from value-added service fees (lacquering, beveling, bundling, and arranged third-party coating). Custom lengths up to 60 feet are available. The company is privately held within the Friedman Industries corporate structure, with 51-100 employees and no public revenue disclosure.
