Allied Tube & Conduit

Since 1959, Allied Tube & Conduit® has been reshaping the pipe and tube industry.

Allied Tube & Conduit® is a leading brand for EMT, IMC, and Rigid conduits made of steel, PVC, and Aluminum. We have products and engineered solutions to meet every application challenge and are continually evolving to serve you better.

The company began with a small 24,000 square foot facility, an innovative idea to galvanize EMT conduit while still “inline”, one tube mill, and 10 employees.  Engineers from Europe came to witness our inline process.  The tubing industry was changed forever and Allied Tube & Conduit® was positioned for growth and expansion.

Today, Allied Tube & Conduit® is stronger than ever and is now a part of Atkore International®. Atkore International® has a global manufacturing footprint with service to customers all over the globe.  From construction to manufacturing our products are in the center of it all. Whether they’re part of a building as electrical raceways, sprinkler pipes, structural tube and perimeter security or being used by OEM to make their product, just check the specs.  We are there!  Beyond that, we strive to be core to each customer’s business as well, understanding what they value and need, providing essential solutions that improve their day-to-day operations.

Allied Tube & Conduit® embodies the same entrepreneurial spirit and innovation that shaped the company back in 1959. We are positioned for continued growth, expansion and innovation, which means our best days – and products – are yet to come.
