Our Story

Engineering Innovation for More Than a Century 

For ages, the piping industry relied primarily on welders for joining pipes, which meant longer project timelines, heightened safety risks, and increased labor costs. Everything changed in 1919, when 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. Victaulic introduced the industry to an efficient, more economical way to assemble pipes quickly, safely, and over longer distances than ever before. It also democratized pipe installation, empowering a wider range of professionals to achieve superior results with ease and efficiency, ultimately revolutionizing the industrial piping industry. 

Our company, originally known as The Victory Pipe Joint Company, changed its name to Victaulic, which combined the words “VICtory” and “hydraulic.” Victaulic couplings were first used for the transport of water and fuel. Seeing tremendous opportunity, we quickly set our sights on new markets such as mining, power generation, and commercial construction.
