Pipe Technology Now Part of Westflex Inc.

Westflex Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of Pipe Technology, Inc., a 33 yearold Los Angeles-based fabrication and distribution company specializing in concrete pump hose, fittings, pump parts, pipes and accessories. Pipe Technology was founded in 1981 by Denis Lootens and is a major national supplier to the concrete pumping industry. “I have enjoyed developing new products, especially for the small line pump community. Westflex will continue to serve the many friends I have made in the industry,” says Lootens.

The acquisition is the first ever for Westflex. “We wanted a foothold in the Los Angeles market and Pipe Technology offered us a solid foundation with strong growth potential. We believe we have positioned ourselves perfectly to take our business to the next level. We are very excited to have this opportunity,” says Dixon LeGros, president.

Pipe Technology, a Westflex Inc. company, will be managed by Brian Craig. Brian is currently employed by Western Hose & Gasket Co., another Westflex division. Brian brings with him over 20 years of experience serving the concrete pumping industry. Denis Lootens, the founder, whose hard work created and sustained the company for over thirty years, will stay on to help ensure a successful transition. During this time Denis, as always, will be available for technical assistance.
