Central Tube and Bar Announces Conway Facility Expansion



Central Tube and Bar has expanded its Conway facilities to include a new 72,000-sq. ft. facility in addition to the existing corporate headquarters and fabrication facility on Middle Road. As part of the new expansion, Central Tube and Bar has also added a new BLM LT7 tube laser, the company's seventh laser.

"We started in Conway over 20 years ago and it feels great to be reinvesting in our community with this expansion," said Dustin Ward, President of Central Tube and Bar. "Doubling our facilities allows us to add skilled jobs to the local economy and serve more customers' tube, bar and metal supply and fabrication needs."

"The expansion is a sign of manufacturing supply chains returning to U.S., as the quality and consistency of components from overseas suppliers has decreased. In tandem with rising costs and increasing supply chain risks due to tariffs, many companies are looking to American suppliers like Central Tube and Bar to fulfill part orders. Parts manufactured at the new Conway facility include components for heavy truck, bus, hospitality, aerospace, manufacturing and energy industries," said a company spokesperson.

"We are excited to focus on continued growth as more manufacturing is brought back stateside for higher quality, more efficient and accurate value-added component fabrication," Ward said. "This new facility helps us achieve our goals of providing a better product and service than our competitors, both here and abroad."
