Our Story

What began as a military need has become an extraordinary solution for today`s construction industry.

In 1919, Ernest Tribe and Dr. Henry Hele-Shaw filed the patent for what is now known as the Victaulic coupling. The concept was groundbreaking: joining pipes with bolted mechanical grooved couplings using a gasket seal - introduced the industry to an efficient, more economical way to assemble pipes quickly, safely, and over longer distances than ever before.

The company, originally known as The Victory Pipe Joint Company, was renamed Victaulic, combining the words "victory" and "hydraulic." Victaulic couplings were initially used for the rapid transport of water and fuel. By strategically broadening its focus, the company successfully entered new markets including mining, power generation, and commercial construction.

With more than a century of expertise, Victaulic stands as the leading innovator in pipe joining solutions, delivering project efficiency and enhancing constructability, while allowing for seamless integration of our solutions, software, and services at every stage in a project`s life cycle.

Our engineering, research, product development and manufacturing are vertically integrated and controlled with precision, from beginning to end - resulting in the highest quality solution that is rugged enough to withstand the most physically demanding conditions.
