A Long History In Industrial Manufacturing

Tube Bending Specialists History

Tube Bending Specialists was founded in 1989, to address the growing need for a company that could provide precise and efficient bending services on a timely basis. We are a small family owned business that lives true to the core values we find crucial in doing business in a positive manner. In doing so, we intend to provide services that are a cut above the rest. We believe in deep collaboration and synergy among our team, which allows us to innovate in a way that others cannot. On February 19th, 2025, Tube Bending Specialists successfully acquired another Tube Bending Company that was deeply rooted in history, a company called Flour City Bending.

Flour City Bendings History
Flour City Welding was established in 1918. Originally a manufacturer of wagons and trailers with a sideline in welding repairs, our welding expertise opened new business channels. During World War II, the facility was devoted to work for the navy and maritime commission. We began hot bending sandpacked pipe for ocean going tankers with in-house designed bending equipment. Our welding and bending expertise lead to postwar contracts for the manufacture of soybean oil extraction and grain handling equipment. Flour City was known nationally for our know-how in hard facing the expellers of the extract from soybeans so the equipment lasted twice as long.

With our experience and knowledge, we were also famous in the highly specialized repair and maintenance of boilers. Retubing boilers, pipe fabricating for power plants, and pipe bending were also major services. Since 1970, we have specialized in production tube bending and general metal fabrication.

In 2004, under new ownership, the company name was changed to Flour City Bending, Inc. We are poised to carry on Flour City’s long time reputation of providing the highest quality components, assemblies, and customer service. Our vast experience in tube fabrication and welding will assure you that your most difficult applications will be handled in the most professional and efficient way.
