Based in the industrious heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, Latham Steel has built a strong reputation as a trusted manufacturer and supplier, particularly known for the reliability of its CDS Tubing. We understand that the backbone of any successful project is quality materials, which is why our CDS (Cold Drawn Seamless) tubing is produced with meticulous attention to detail. It is a product we stand behind, designed to meet the rigorous demands of New Zealand’s diverse industries, from construction and manufacturing to innovative engineering applications.
The defining characteristic of our CDS tubing is its exceptional composition and mechanical properties. Made from high-quality steel, the cold drawing process creates a seamless tube with a superior surface finish and remarkably consistent dimensions. This results in outstanding strength, increased hardness, and improved tensile properties compared to standard hot-finished tubing. Essentially, this process gives the material a tougher, more resilient character, making it ideally suited for applications where precision, durability, and the ability to withstand significant pressure or load are absolutely crucial.
