- RathGibson’s Precision Vision
To the outside world, recent times may have appeared to have been difficult for RathGibson, headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois, USA. They are a leading manufacturer of precision welded, welded and drawn, and seamless stainless steel, nickel and titanium tubing, offered in straight lengths, coil and U-bend configurations. Diverse industries, such as power generation, oil and gas, food and dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and petrochemical, trust RathGibson for their highly engineered tubing. In 2007, when the second sale and purchase of the company in fourteen months was completed, RathGibson was burdened with considerable debt. After exhausting all other avenues for recapitalization, including several opportunities with the equity owners as well as other investors, RathGibson filed for Chapter 11 on July 13, 2009. To some companies, this could have been the beginning of a downward spiral. Not so for RathGibson. Today, with a new name and an array of recent achievements under their belt, they are planning a very positive future. Stainless Steel World talked to Michael Schwartz, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Kirk Thorne, Vice President – Sales and Marketing, to gain the inside details. - America’s first stainless steel
