Known initially as Northwest Pipe & Casing, Northwest Pipe Company started operations in 1966 with just three steel pipe mills and 20 employees in Clackamas, Oregon. Originally focused on agriculture and the then-booming wood products market, the company became a major West Coast steel pipe producer for the water market.

In our early days, we embarked on a limited growth strategy by purchasing a pipe manufacturing plant in Portland, Oregon, and constructing a new tubular plant in Kansas to focus on agricultural and sprinkler pipe. In 1987, a group of investors purchased most of Northwest Pipe’s stock and provided the necessary capital for further expansion. When we opened our new Southern California production facility three years later, we had a multi-million dollar backlog of orders and a sizable share of the rapidly developing Southern California market.
Hey there! Let me tell you about the groovy Northwest Pipe Company! Back in 1966, we were a small-time operation with just three steel pipe mills and twenty enthusiastic employees in Clackamas, Oregon. We focused on agriculture and wood products, but we had bigger dreams. So, we decided to expand our horizons and bought a pipe manufacturing plant in Portland, Oregon. We even built a new tubular plant to focus on agricultural and sprinkler pipes.

When a group of amazing investors bought most of our stock in 1987, we knew we had the support we needed to keep growing. We thought, "let's do this and be the best!" After receiving that support, we continued to expand and become a significant player in the industry.

But, we didn't stop there! When we opened up shop in sunny Southern California, we had a multi-million dollar backlog of orders and a significant presence in the rapidly developing Southern California market.

Today, we're not just a pipe company, we're a solution-based provider for various markets, including water transmission and infrastructure, water and wastewater plant piping, trenchless technology, and piping rehabilitation. We've got Permalok® steel casing pipe, bar-wrapped concrete pipe, and precast and reinforced concrete products through Geneva Pipe and Precast. Today, we are proud of that fact that we make it all.
