Cured-In-Place Pipe Pioneers with a Sharp Eye on Quality and Future Innovation
Formed in January 2024 through the strategic acquisition of United Felts Inc., FerraTex Solutions, and MaxLiner® by Vortex Companies, United Felts marks a new era in trenchless infrastructure solutions. As a continuation of the premier supplier of Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) in the Americas, we live a commitment to innovation, quality, and customer-focus, proudly upholding American-made excellence every day.
Celebrating the milestone of our 100,000th liner in 2024 — representing over 200 million feet of manufactured tube — United Felts stands as the oldest manufacturer of raw materials to finished CIPP liner goods. Our dedication to excellence is captured in our ethos, ‘UNITED TO DELIVER BIG,’ reflecting our mission to exceed customer expectations by delivering high-quality goods with unmatched precision, speed, and reliability.
United Felts represents a legacy of innovation that began with the invention of CIPP in England in the early 1970s. Our history is connected to significant advancements in the industry, from pioneering fiberglass reinforced liners to introducing solutions for H20 CIPP. Today, as part of Vortex Companies, we continue to lead the market in providing comprehensive trenchless solutions globally, including pipe and manhole lining systems, sewer robotics, and extensive support services.
As we build on this rich history, United Felts remains dedicated to spearheading the development of new technologies to meet the world’s increasing needs for cost-effective infrastructure rehabilitation.
