Thompson Pipe Group To Acquire U.S. Pipe
Thompson Pipe Group has entered a definitive agreement to acquire the concrete and steel pressure pipe assets of U.S. Pipe, a division of Forterra.
Thompson Pipe Group provides the water and wastewater infrastructure, as well as the power and industrial markets, with various pressure and gravity pipe product solutions for open-cut and trenchless installations.
“My father started this company as a small private underground utility contractor in 1972,” said Ken D. Thompson, CEO. “As we grew into large public works projects, we gained experience installing the very products that we now produce. We know what it takes to be the best construction partners for trenchless, drainage, water and wastewater owners, engineers and contractors.”
The acquisition makes Thompson Pipe Group one of the largest and most diverse pressure pipe providers in North America, and positions it to serve the growing needs of a vital industry.
“I’m very excited about our new lineup. We’ll now be able to supply exactly the right product for the right application on a national scale,” added Mike Leathers, executive vice president, Thompson Pipe. “With a complete range of pipe products and support, we can serve our customers like never before.”
Thompson Pipe Group is a privately held company headquartered in Rialto, CA, with production plants throughout North America.
