What Is FlowTube
FlowTube is a modular system of reusable steel or aluminium tubes combined with rapid-assembly joints, brackets, roller tracks and accessories. The system allows you to design and build custom structures using a building-block approach that supports Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen and Continuous Improvement.
Structures are assembled, not welded. This allows layouts to be modified, expanded or reused as production requirements change, protecting your investment and reducing waste.
ATC works with FlowStore, the UK distributor for FlowTube, combining local Irish engineering support with UK-based distribution and assembly capability.
