Cambridge-Lee Industries entered the copper tube industry in 1955 as a small distributor serving the U.S. plumbing market. Since then we’ve evolved into one of the world’s largest distributors of copper with sales offices in every corner of the globe.
In 1993, Industrias Unidas S.A. de C.V. (IUSA), one of Mexico’s largest conglomerates, acquired Cambridge-Lee Industries. Then, in 1996, Cambridge-Lee purchased Reading Tube Corporation, a major U.S. producer of copper tube. As a result of the acquisition, Cambridge-Lee has become one of the world’s leaders in the manufacture and distribution of copper tube for water supply, air conditioning, refrigeration and a variety of commercial applications.
We’ve grown to be a world leader because we understand that customer satisfaction requires not only high-quality products but also a high-quality of customer service. From our top executives to our most junior employees, we take pride in ensuring we meet our customers’ needs and requirements, ranging from on-time deliveries and trucking solutions, to well trained sales and service departments, to utmost product quality.
