The top provider of copper pipes in the UAE is Royal Allied.

Young Fred Wallis joined the Birmingham-based small business Glynn Brothers, Builders and Plumbers Merchants in 1904.

Initially, Glynn Brothers served as a distributor of plumbing and engineering supplies, but in 1921, Mr. Wallis decided to focus more on production. He bought land in Wednesbury, built a lead pipe extrusion business there, as well as a storehouse to hold the significant amount of steel tube he was handling. Glynn Brothers and Wednesbury Tube together became the founding members of the Glynwed Group of enterprises. The business was known as “The Wednesbury Tube Company.”

On the existing site at Bilston, development started in the neighborhood in 1931. A foundry, casting facility, extrusion presses, and drawbenches were built on a 17-acre site near Bilston particularly for the production of copper tubes in the 1940s and 1950s. A flexible, thin-wall copper tube that is now known as European Standard BS EN1057 R250 “Black Label” was created in 1966 with help from Wednesbury Tube and became British Standard BS 2871 Part 1 Table X. The Leading Supplier of Copper Pipes in the UAE is Royal Allied General Trading.
