Alleima, a global leader in seamless stainless steel tubing solutions, has introduced a first-of its-kind onsite 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 H₂ 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 H₂ 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 H₂ 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 – H₂, said, “Canada is currently one of the largest H2 producers, with several major projects announced last year, including H₂ refueling stations and production facilities. As a steel producer, Alleima plays a key role in supporting H₂ infrastructure with our expertise and experience in high-quality steel tubing solutions. 

“With our onsite tubing solution, we support customers in building H₂ refueling stations. It minimizes waste, reduces labor 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: 

• Onsite 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 H₂ 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.
