Lawton Tubes celebrated 100 years in 2018. Starting out as a small engineering company in the heart of Coventry City UK, we have since positioned ourselves as a household brand.

Through a vast network of national and independent merchants we sell plumbing and air-conditioning copper tube, as well as being the largest UK medical gas copper tube and pipes distributor. We embrace sustainability and collaborate with the Copper Sustainability Partnership (CuSP), Our domestic plumbing copper pipe is now also made from 100% recycled copper and is 100% recyclable! *

Within the last decade, our expansion in overseas interest now sees our brand in over 35 countries within 4 markets: plumbing, air-conditioning, medical and industrial. This has led to us gaining the highest accolade: The Queen’s Award for Enterprise – International Trade 2019 and more recently the Kings Award for Enterprise – International Trade 2024.

Copper tube is very important for medical gas engineering. Lawton Tubes is a very well-known company and for many years we’ve been working with them, probably 30-40 years. Lawton Tubes makes all the products which are used in medical gas application and there is no need to worry about the quality of the product.
