In 1916, The Wolverine Tube Company was organized, occupying a small frame building at the corner of 33rd Street and McGraw Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. At the outset, the products of the company consisted of small-size seamless copper and brass tube. The principal market served by the company was the local automobile manufacturers, and most of the sizes of tube required were smaller than 3/4 inches O.D. ("outer diameter").
Today, Wolverine Tube, Inc. has become a world-class quality partner, providing its customers with copper and copper alloy tube, fabricated products, brazing alloys, fluxes and lead-free solder, as well as copper and copper alloy rod, bar and other products. The variety of products, including shapes and sizes, has increased so that today Wolverine has the broadest product offering in the non-ferrous metals marketplace. The number of industries being served has grown, too, and today hundreds of manufacturers are regularly getting their products from Wolverine.
Additionally, Wolverine has had great success in implementing innovative designs to meet its customers' growing demands for high quality products with maximum operating efficiencies at reasonable costs. In doing so, Wolverine has become recognized worldwide as the technological leader in non-ferrous products that serve the heat transfer, industrial, power and process, electrical, electronic, automotive and consumer product markets.
