In 1948, Peter Hoberg and Toni Driesch set up their own wholesale business selling steel tubes. Their aim was to offer their customers something unique; a wide range of high quality steel tube options, with fast availability. The concept proved to be a success, Hoberg & Driesch is not only one of the leading wholesalers of steel products, but also has a very satisfied customer base.
As a privately owned company, we provide the continuity that is expected from a reliable partnership. Even today, the core of our business is to offer a wide range of high quality seamless and welded steel tubes, mainly manufactured in Europe.
We have the outside diameter, wall thickness, steel grade, length and quantity you need - right from stock.
