J.F.D. Tube & Coil Products, Inc.

Profile

J.F.D. Tube & Coil Products, Inc. was founded in September, 1983 by Joseph Orlowski, Frank Simmons, and Diane Orlowski. Joe, Frank, and Diane started in a small 1500 square foot facility in East Haven, Connecticut. Our initial focus was on bending and coiling tube and pipe with several small coiling and bending machines. Within two years, we decided to expand our product offerings to include shell & tube heat exchangers and tube bundles. We moved our operations into an 8,000 square foot facility in New Haven, Connecticut and acquired a wide array of new machinery, tooling, and equipment. These expansions also included the acquisition of our most valuable resource, our first employees. As our workforce and equipment grew, so did our manufacturing capabilities. We set out to become a recognizable name among heat transfer manufacturers, known for our quality and service within the industry. In March of 1986, we expanded our capabilities to include A.S.M.E. Section VIII, Division I "U" and "UM" certifications for fabrication of unfired pressure vessels and heat exchangers. This addition allowed us to compete with larger companies on new heat transfer applications. It also allowed us to offer customizable replacement heat exchangers, cross referencing and duplicating the dimensions of many other heat exchanger manufacturers. Several years later, we received a National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) "R" stamp to repair, retube, rebuild, or alter ASME code vessels.
