Alleima Launches On-site Tubing Solution in Canada for Hydrogen Projects

Alleima, a global leader in seamless stainless steel tubing solutions, has introduced a first-of its-kind on-site tubing solution in Canada - a mobile machine capable of straightening and cutting thick-walled coiled tubing directly at the construction site.

This innovative solution changes how coiled tubing is supplied across the country, particularly for the installation of hydrogen refueling stations. By bringing the equipment to the job site, Alleima streamlines the setup process and eliminates the need for off-site processing.  

It has a strong track record in Europe already supporting more than 70 hydrogen refueling station projects. Alleima’s mobile unit offers a versatile, cost-effective alternative by delivering tubing cut to exact specifications on demand, wherever it’s needed.  

The announcement comes as Alleima prepares to showcase the solution at the Canadian Hydrogen Convention in Edmonton, April 22–24, where industry professionals will get an exclusive look at the future of tubing technology and see the machine in action.  

Tobias Lummerich, Alleima’s Global Industry Manager – Hydrogen, said: “Canada is currently one of the largest hydrogen producers, with several major projects announced last year, including hydrogen refuelling stations and production facilities. As a steel producer, Alleima plays a key role in supporting hydrogen infrastructure with our expertise and experience in high-quality steel tubing solutions.  

“With our on-site tubing solution, we support customers in building hydrogen refuelling stations. It minimizes waste, reduces labour efforts, and eliminates the need for fittings or welds, decreasing potential weak points in the system.” 

Utilizing a 20-foot container platform, the mobile unit is operated by Alleima experts trained in handling high-pressure thick-wall coils up to 1".  

Key benefits include:  

  • On-site manufacturing: Direct-to-customer precision cutting and straightening.  

  • Versatile deployment: Adaptable to a range of terrains and extreme conditions. 

  • Enhanced safety & compliance: Seamless tubing solutions meet strict hydrogen industry standards.  

  • Minimized waste: Precision monitoring and control allow for any length to be cut as needed.  

  • Faster installation: Significantly reduced setup and delivery times.
