As a forward-thinking organization, Hobas Pipe is proud to be part of WIG Wietersdorfer Holding GmbH, continuing a legacy of quality and innovation that has been nurtured by its parent company since 1893.

The company's remarkable journey began with a pivotal innovation, when Swiss engineers from Basel Dye Works pioneered the centrifugal casting of fiber glass reinforced plastic (FRP) cylinders, initially intended to revolutionize the textile industry in the 1950s. This technology later found its profound potential in water conveyance, leading to the creation of Hobas Pipe in 1960. The groundbreaking characteristics of these pipes, such as high strength, light weight, and ease of installation, rendered them ideal for demanding applications including a renowned three-kilometer-long pressure pipeline for a Swiss hydropower plant. Today, Hobas Pipe not only bears a rich heritage of transformative solutions but also continues to champion long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness in their Houston, Texas manufacturing facility, complementing the pressing needs of safety, health, and environmental conservation in dam infrastructure.
