European Tubes has proudly been a family-run business for 36 years, earning a reputation as a trusted supplier of carbon seamless tubes across a multitude of industries. Their expertise spans the automotive sector, drilling and piling, oil, gas, and subsea applications, as well as railways and highways, among many others.
With over 4000 tonnes of carbon steel tube meticulously stocked in their Wigan warehouse, they are exceptionally equipped to meet the diverse demands of their market.
Now, they face a new and immediate challenge: CBAM. Their focus is on understanding CBAM thoroughly, as their customers require this information for exporting into Europe.
Recently, they encountered Auditel through a customer’s recommendation. After engaging with Paul Harper and Rob Allison, Auditel carbon specialists, they realised they were in capable hands. European Tubes believe this collaboration has positioned them well to address the immediate CBAM requirements for their customer base and, in the long run, to reduce their carbon footprint as a business.
As a company specialising in carbon tubes, European Tubes recognise the importance of addressing environmental concerns and embracing their responsibilities. Steven Gratton, Sales Executive, comments, “With our product being a carbon tube, we don’t want to shy away from it, we have to move forward and identify the environmental concerns & responsibilities that we face as a business.”
Their dedication extends beyond their products; it encompasses their duty to their customers, employees, and future generations. They are steadfast in their mission to reduce carbon emissions and foster a sustainable future. By prioritising eco-friendly practices, they aim to lead by example and contribute positively to the global effort against climate change.
While European Tubes’ primary focus remains on CBAM reporting, their vision for the future is clear: to stay ahead of the game by leading in carbon reduction and becoming carbon competitive in the market.
To demonstrate this commitment, they have a robust environmental management systems in place, certified to ISO 14001:2015, ensuring their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
European Tubes have recently completed a CBAM workshop with Paul Harper and found the experience both informative and valuable. With Auditel’s support, they are confident in ensuring their reporting is accurate and compliant, empowering them to move forward with clarity and determination.
European Tubes recognise the significant effort required to achieve CBAM compliance and are committed to reporting and reducing their carbon emissions. Despite the challenges, they are encouraged and excited about this journey, driven by a vision of a more sustainable future.
“We have a responsibility as a business to our customers & employees and future generations to reduce our carbon emissions.”
