Nu-Tech Precision Metals Inc. is a Canadian specialty metals manufacturer and hot extrusion specialist headquartered in Arnprior, Ontario. Originally established in the mid-1950s as the R&D division of a major copper and brass tube manufacturer and reorganized as Nu-Tech in 1985, the company has grown into a world-recognized supplier of seamless pipe, tubing, shaped hollows, and engineered profiles from non-ferrous and reactive metals.
Nu-Tech holds a unique position in global heavy industry, serving as the sole manufacturer of zirconium alloy pressure tubes for CANDU nuclear reactors worldwide. In addition, the company operates Canada’s only commercial electron beam welding (EBW) facility, enabling clean, deep-penetration joining of reactive and dissimilar metals in a high-vacuum chamber. In December 2021, Nu-Tech was acquired by Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. to expand its portfolio in nuclear, defense, and specialty metals.
