Flexpipe MAKES™ INTERNATIONAL PIPELINE SOLUTIONS. In recent years, Flexpipe’s high pressure, and corrosion-less, pipeline system has garnered the attention of many international petroleum operators. Becoming a member of the ShawCor family has opened a number of international doors for Flexpipe Systems. During the latter part of 2008, Flexpipe Systems and Guardian, a division of ShawCor Ltd., negotiated an agreement whereby Flexpipe linepipe would be inventoried at several locations throughout Mexico. This local solution has resulted in Flexpipe receiving and delivering the first international order of linepipe to Central America. Flexpipe is currently under review and testing for other exciting South American opportunities.
