- National Tubes Limited is a Bangladesh-based manufacturer and distributor of industrial steel and line pipes, operating as a state-owned enterprise under the Bangladesh Steel and Engineering Corporation. Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Tongi, Gazipur, Bangladesh, the company was nationalized in 1972 and listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange in 1989. National Tubes Limited specializes in the production of longitudinal electric resistance welded (ERW) steel pipes and hot-dip galvanized tubes for energy, municipal, and industrial infrastructure. Its primary product portfolio comprises American Petroleum Institute (API) 5L Grade B and PSL1 certified line pipes for high-pressure oil and natural gas transmission; galvanized iron (GI) pipes compliant with BS 1387 and BDS 1031 standards for potable water supply, tubewells, and agricultural irrigation; mild steel (MS) black pipes for industrial fluid conduction, scaffolding, and structural engineering; ASTM A-53 Grade B and Schedule 40 pipes for mechanical, steam, and high-pressure duties; marine-grade piping for dockyard and vessel applications; and specialized tubular products for fire hydrant networks and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The company operates two active production facilities spanning 14.31 acres in the Tongi Industrial Area, comprising Unit 2 for nominal diameters ranging from 0.5 inches to 4 inches and Unit 3 for diameters ranging from 4 inches to 8 inches, providing a combined annual installed welding capacity of approximately 39,000 metric tons. The company primarily caters to state-run energy exploration and utility distribution agencies, including Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company, Bakhrabad Gas Distribution Company, and Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX), as well as municipal water supply and sewerage authorities, public works agencies, and private construction contractors across Bangladesh. In recent developments, National Tubes Limited has implemented strategic operational adjustments to address domestic demand fluctuations and raw material price volatility, focusing on inventory optimization and enhanced procurement controls. Concurrently, the company and its controlling entity, the Bangladesh Steel and Engineering Corporation, have pursued balancing, modernization, rehabilitation, and expansion (BMRE) evaluations aimed at upgrading legacy mill machinery, enhancing production efficiency, and strengthening its competitive positioning for major public infrastructure and utility procurement contracts.
