While working with Flexpipe Systems, on the manufacturing of their pipeline fittings, part of the process involved shipping the product to a third party — Integrated Protective Coatings — for a proprietary, electroless nickel coating. This was a vital step in the process, but as it was taking place in Canada, it was also time consuming and expensive. Our team recognized this problem for what it truly was: an opportunity. 

​

​

    In 2008, we partnered with IPC to form CCPC, a foreign-owned enterprise in China. Each party provided half of the necessary funding to build and operate a new factory in China. This reduced costs and complexity for all parties, and allowed IPC to deliver  a 100% ready-to-use product directly to Flexpipe’s door.

​

    Thanks to an emphasis on reliability and quality, the subsequent years have experienced increased growth. We continue to ensure all products arrive to Flexpipe on time, with uncompromised quality at a competitive price.
