Without the proper tools and process knowledge, the optimization of any given alloy's properties cannot be realized. The observation of Worth's long-time credo. This credo is also a driving force in our constant efforts to increase our technical and production capabilities. This capability allows us to make the unique tubing our customers require for their bicycle frames and components. Such access to proprietary tubes can be very helpful in setting your product apart from that of your competition.
Few people realize it, but most metal bats are really highly manipulated, single-butted tubes.
As one of the aluminum bat industry's pioneers, Worth has been involved with butted tubing manufacturing since 1968. Since then we've continually refined our machinery and processes. As we venture into the bicycle industry, the need for even more sophisticated tools and capabilities is clear. To meet this need we'll soon be taking delivery on some substantial tube manipulation hardware at our Tullahoma, Tennessee factory. Adding to our already impressive toolbox will be the latest in high-tech, computer butting equipment.
