Tube Gear

What Tube Gear does

Tube Gear Limited is a UK-based industrial distributor founded in 1982 and headquartered in Northfleet, Kent. The company supplies air brake fittings, industrial fittings, air brake tubing, and general transport spares, primarily serving the commercial vehicle industry (truck and trailer manufacturers and service providers) with a secondary industrial pneumatic components customer base. Its core product offering is an extensive range of push-in air brake fittings sourced from six major manufacturers — Norgren FleetFit, Raufoss, Camozzi, Voss, John Guest, and WIRA — with 992+ products in the push-in air brake category alone, alongside industrial products such as malleable iron fittings, compression components, tubing and coils, and assorted box kits. Technical differentiation rests on tool-free push-in fitting technology, the Raufoss brass building block fitting system, and multiple product certifications including DOT FMUSSI06, SAE J1131, DIN 74324, and TUV approval.

The business operates as a privately held, single-jurisdiction (UK) authorized distributor with 11-50 employees. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales via three channels: a direct e-commerce website, phone orders, and email inquiries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to contact the sales team. Marketing is minimal, relying on the website, an interactive catalogue, and a downloadable PDF catalogue (Edition 7a, 2023). The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications verified through UKAS, supporting its positioning with commercial vehicle and industrial buyers who require certified suppliers. The legal entity is Tube Gear Limited, a private limited company registered in England, with no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors.
