VANCOUVER, Wash. - Northwest Pipe Company (NASDAQ:NWPX), a $387.5 million market cap infrastructure company with annual revenues of $495.4 million, announced Thursday it has changed its corporate name to NWPX Infrastructure, Inc. while maintaining its existing Nasdaq ticker symbol.
The company, which manufactures water-related infrastructure products, said the rebrand reflects its expanded capabilities in precast and engineered systems and its broader product offerings.
"Our transition to NWPX Infrastructure represents much more than a name change," said Scott Montross, President and Chief Executive Officer. "It reflects who we are today—a forward-looking company addressing the nation’s most critical water infrastructure challenges."
The company will continue to operate its engineered steel pressure pipe plants under the Northwest Pipe Company brand. Its precast business lines will transition to NWPX Geneva and NWPX ParkUSA, respectively.
Founded in 1966, the company describes itself as North America’s largest manufacturer of engineered water transmission systems. It operates 13 manufacturing facilities across North America, producing steel casing pipe, bar-wrapped concrete cylinder pipe, and various precast concrete products.
The rebranding includes a new corporate logo and visual identity that will be implemented across all business operations, product lines, and digital platforms, according to the press release statement.
The Vancouver, Washington-based company said customers and partners can expect the same products and industry expertise under the new brand identity.
