At Wheatland Tube, we’ve been making it easy for our customers to stock and install our products since we began manufacturing in 1931. We trace our legacy of service all the way back to 1877, when John Maneely, the founder of Wheatland’s parent company, began selling pipe, valves and fittings in Philadelphia.
Today, Wheatland is proud to be a division of Zekelman Industries, the largest independent steel pipe and tube manufacturer in North America and a leader in modular construction innovations and is Canadian owned. With a better portfolio, better products and better service, we’re doing our part to MAKE IT eZ for our customers.To apply for this scholarship, click here.
