Thames River Tube Company has been manufacturing and supplying the Northeast with paper tubes and cores since 1928. The company has been owned and operated by the LeBeau family since 1964 and serves the region from its current mill facility in Ashaway, RI since 1971.

During this time, the company has developed a solid reputation throughout the Northeast in reliably fulfilling the needs of the textile, paper, metal and construction industries. In recent years, the company has branched out to serve new clients and industries: promotional companies, mail order retailers, and trade show operators, as new uses and applications for paper tubes and cores have gained in popularity.
 

Ashaway, RI has proven to be an ideal location from which to serve all of Southern New England and the Northern Mid Atlantic states. Only a short distance from Providence, RI,  Ashaway is less than ninety miles from Boston and only about an hour away from Hartford, New Bedford, Worcester, Newport and New Haven.

Having our own fleet of delivery vehicles and dedicated transportation team gives us the resources and flexibility to fully service the needs of our clients.

Thames River Tube continues its success with the leadership of Paul A. LeBeau, who has been part of this family owned and operated enterprise for 35 years. The sales and marketing efforts of the company have also improved and expanded with the addition of Andy Lindelow, a former senior level marketing executive with General Electric.

Offering rapid turnaround, no minimums, custom design capabilities, fabrication options, stringent quality control, and a flexible customer oriented approach all contribute to Thames River Tube’s total commitment to customer satisfaction.
