Flexpipe Systems is founded
A team of entrepreneurial engineers developed and marketed high pressure, corrosion-resistant continuous composite pipeline systems
25 Years of Moving What Matters
Since 2001, Flexpipe has been redefining what’s possible in pipeline infrastructure — replacing corrosion-prone steel with spoolable composite pipe that installs faster, lasts longer, and performs where it counts. What started as a small start-up designed to improve the oil and gas industry has grown into a global organization, a world-class manufacturing operation, and a team trusted by some of the most experienced operators in the industry.
This timeline is a look back at where we’ve been, a celebration of the people who got us here, and where we’re going next.
Thank you to the people, partners and customers who have been a part of Flexpipe’s journey for the past 25 years.
