Webinar Sponsored by Atlas Tube
Presented by: Brad Fletcher, Senior Sales Engineer
Atlas Tube, a division of Zekelman Industries, is the largest producer of Hollow Structural Sections (HSS) in North America with not only the largest production capacity but also the largest size range in the industry. Starting in Fall, 2021, Atlas will begin producing the largest HSS sections available anywhere in the world right here in the US.
Atlas Tube is also a leader in providing innovative solutions in designing with HSS. A new connection technology, the Shuriken, makes bolted HSS splices and connections faster, easier, safe and more cost effective than other connection methods typically used with HSS.
The presentation will provide information on the new mill as well as showing how the Shuriken can add speed and value to your HSS connections.
