Ralph
H. Phillips
President and CEO
A successful Tool and Die entrepreneur
since 1967, Mr. Phillips acquired the Barker Tower Company,
a steel fabricator for the residential TV antenna tower business
in 1974, expanding his capabilities to machining, fabrication
and tube producing. Phillips continued to purchase equipment
and businesses to expand his offering and ability to meet
customers needs. In 1980, Mr. Phillips purchased equipment
from Ohio Steel Tube to open Shelby Welded Tube. Seizing
an opportunity to serve customers in the South, Phillips purchased
the assets of Hedstrom Industries in Dothan Alabama, which
became Dothan Tubular Products. In 1993, Mr. Phillips
acquired the steel tubing division of Armco LLP in Middletown,
Ohio, naming it Middletown Tube Works. Even as these
companies grew, Mr. Phillips has remained an integral part
of the business. Mr. Phillips assures every customer's
needs are met, encourages innovation and creativity, and fosters
a family work environment where employees are respected and
valued.
