IUSA and Cambridge-Lee Industries – Trusted Manufacturers of Premium Copper Tubing
Cambridge-Lee Industries began its journey in the copper tube industry in 1955 as a small distributor serving the plumbing markets across the United States. Through consistent growth, technical expertise, and a strong focus on customer satisfaction, the company has become one of the largest copper tube manufacturers and distributors in the world, supplying products across the USA, Mexico, and Latin America.
In 1993, Industrias Unidas S.A. de C.V. (IUSA) – one of Mexico’s largest industrial groups – acquired Cambridge-Lee Industries. This acquisition strengthened production capabilities with a state-of-the-art copper refinery and tube mill in Pasteje, Mexico, allowing the company to meet the growing global demand for high-quality copper pipes and copper tubing systems.
By 1996, Cambridge-Lee expanded further by acquiring Reading Tube Corporation, a major U.S. copper tube producer. This strategic expansion positioned Cambridge-Lee as a global leader in copper tube manufacturing, serving industries such as plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, water supply, commercial construction, and industrial applications.

Strict Quality Control for Copper Pipes and Copper Coils
Quality is the foundation of every IUSA Cambridge-Lee copper product. The manufacturing process includes advanced Eddy-Current testing to detect defects without damaging the tubes. This guarantees that each copper pipe meets international safety and performance standards.
ACR copper coils and pipes are carefully:
-
Dehydrated

Degreased

Purged with dry nitrogen

Sealed with protective caps
This process keeps the internal surface clean, dry, and contamination-free, making the tubes ideal for refrigeration and air conditioning systems.
