Pipeline Products

Pipeline Product’s background story of how we got started in the general manual machining and Hot Tapping industry. Before we even had a thought of creating Pipeline Products, father Charles Huff has been designing and manufacturing Hot Tapping and Line Stopping equipment since 1963. Charles got his start working for a company called Team IND, where he was the 4th employee they had hired when the company first began and he help start up the company. Soon the corporate politics at Team IND took its toll on Charles and he decided to go out on his own. At that time Charles founded a company called Global Tapping which he had started himself back in 1980. This is where he started manufacturing many specialty tools and machines some of which are his designs that are still in service and utilized in the Hot Tapping industry today!
