Inspiring Excellence in Precision Engineering

In 1978, Andre Calitz founded AC HONED TUBE, originally known as Hydrofit Engineering. Driven to succeed, Andre built his first honing machine from scrap metal over a weekend to secure an important order. From these humble beginnings, AC HONED TUBE has expanded into a leading manufacturer, importer and exporter of hydraulic tubing and shafting, now boasting a workshop space of +-15,000 m². With a global footprint, we deliver world-class products and services, including deep hole drilling, skiving & burnishing, induction hardening, chroming, and fine-finished bars.
