National Force with Regional Focus
NWPX Infrastructure’s national prominence is based on expertise, service, and our ability to manufacture quality products that meet performance expectations. Guided by our core values of Accountability, Commitment, and Teamwork, we have been setting the standard for excellence in engineering and manufacturing performance expectations since 1966.
As a publicly-held company, we are fiscally responsible and able to competitively complete projects of any size to all manufactured to industry standards. Our commitment to on-time delivery and project performance is backed by our dedication to continuous improvement and multi-state facilities with ISO 9001:2015 certifications.
Our company includes three brands: Northwest Pipe Company, the largest manufacturer of engineered water transmission pipe systems in North America and maker of Permalok® steel casing pipe, a proven leader in the trenchless application of steel pipe; NWPX Geneva, a first-in-class RCP and precast concrete producer; and NWPX ParkUSA, an engineered environmental solutions company specializing in water management, wastewater pretreatment, and stormwater quality. The Company also produces bar-wrapped concrete pipe and one of the largest offerings of fittings and specialized components in North America.
Our legacy manufacturing facilities are in Adelanto, California; Parkersburg, West Virginia; Portland, Oregon; Saginaw, Texas; St. Louis, Missouri; Tracy, California; and San Luis Río Colorado, Mexico. Our precast plants are in Orem, Salt Lake City, and St. George, Utah under the Geva Pipe and Precast name, and in Houston, Ferris, and San Antonio, Texas under the ParkUSA name. Our headquarters is in Vancouver, Washington.
Strategic Growth
Our strategic plan is based on creating transformational growth and profitability to drive shareholder value through organic growth and acquisitions. With our stronghold on the steel pressure pipe market, this growth focuses on expanding precast product manufacturing to our legacy steel producing plants, as well and exploring accretive acquisition candidates to strengthen our presence in the precast-related markets. Potential candidates must meet performance indicators and have industry and geographic alignment as well as an experienced management team and strong reputation.
Looking forward, NWPX strives to improve value to the company’s shareholders, employees, and all other stakeholders.
