Automotive suppliers, machinery manufacturers and precision-component buyers can meet Handu Steel at Booth TP69–TP70 during Tube & Pipe Show Vietnam 2026 to discuss integrated ERW mother-tube production, cold drawing, finishing and inspection.
Handu Steel Co., Ltd. will exhibit at Tube & Pipe Show Vietnam 2026 at Booth TP69–TP70. The Republic of Korea manufacturer presents a relevant meeting opportunity for buyers seeking precision steel tubes and processed tubular components for automotive and mechanical applications.
Why Handu Steel Is Relevant to Precision-Tube Buyers
Handu Steel describes its manufacturing model as a Total Production System. Rather than focusing on only one production stage, the company combines ERW mother-tube production, cold drawing and post-processing. For buyers, an integrated route can support a more focused discussion about material consistency, dimensional requirements, inspection and downstream component preparation.
The company states that it sources steel materials from Korean mills including POSCO and Hyundai Steel. Its published production information covers carbon steel tubes for machine structural purposes, ERW tubes used as mother tubes for cold drawing, and precision-processed tube parts.
At TPSV2026, buyers should discuss the complete manufacturing route—not only tube diameter and wall thickness, but also material grade, tolerances, heat treatment, inspection and the final processing required for the component.
From ERW Mother Tube to Finished Component
ERW production and quality control
Handu's published ERW process includes slitting, uncoiling, levelling, roll forming, high-frequency electric-resistance welding, sizing, cutting, chamfering and eddy-current testing. This gives buyers a useful basis for discussing weld integrity, surface condition and mother-tube consistency before cold drawing.
Cold drawing for tighter dimensions
The company's cold-drawing route includes heat treatment, swaging, surface preparation, drawing, straightening, cutting and eddy-current inspection. Cold drawing is used where buyers require closer dimensional control, improved surface condition or specific mechanical-property targets compared with an as-welded tube.
Processing for component readiness
Handu also publishes cutting and chamfering capabilities for processed steel tube parts. Buyers can use the exhibition meeting to clarify whether additional operations, inspection documentation, packaging or delivery formats can be aligned with their production line.
Standards and Automotive Quality Background
Handu lists KS D 3517 and JIS G 3445 among its product-standard references for carbon steel tubes used for machine structural purposes. Its company history also records automotive-quality milestones including TS/ISO 16949 certification in 2007 and IATF 16949 certification in 2018.
The same published history records the opening of a corporate R&D centre in 2017, selection as a Korean “Global Small-but-Strong Company” in 2019, a Million Dollar Export Tower award in 2019 and a Presidential Award for Ppuri Industry in 2021. Buyers should confirm the current validity and scope of any certificate directly with the exhibitor for their particular project.
Why the Vietnam Market Context Matters
Vietnam's manufacturing base is expanding in sectors that use precision tubes and processed metal components. Vietnam's National Statistics Office reported that motor-vehicle manufacturing output increased 22.0% in 2025, while metal production increased 15.4%. The same report noted a 39.1% increase in automobile output.
Vietnam is also strengthening its automotive supporting industry. A Vietnamese Government report on the country's first Škoda manufacturing plant stated that the supporting industry is expected to meet around 55–60% of domestic automotive component demand by 2030. These figures do not predict orders for any individual supplier, but they do explain why technical conversations about precision tubes, component localisation, quality systems and supply-chain cooperation are timely.
Who Should Meet Handu Steel?
- Automotive OEM, Tier 1 and Tier 2 sourcing and engineering teams.
- Manufacturers of mechanical, motion-control and precision tubular components.
- Tube distributors and processors seeking Korean ERW or cold-drawn products.
- Quality engineers evaluating dimensional control, traceability and inspection routes.
- Vietnamese manufacturers exploring localisation or alternative international suppliers.
- Regional partners interested in technical, distribution or supply-chain cooperation.
Prepare These Questions for Booth TP69–TP70
- Which material grades and standards apply to the required component?
- What outside diameter, wall thickness, tolerance and straightness are required?
- Is an ERW tube, cold-drawn tube or processed component the correct supply stage?
- What heat treatment, surface condition and mechanical properties are needed?
- Which destructive or non-destructive tests and inspection records are required?
- What annual volume, sample schedule, packaging and delivery route should be evaluated?
Bringing a drawing, applicable standard, target annual volume and inspection requirements will help Handu Steel's team assess the inquiry more efficiently.
