The liners and epoxy resins will be manufactured by IPT in Abilene, Texas, and will be branded with APS.

In a statement, CEO of APS Jake Saltzman says, “Our partnership with Internal Pipe Technologies will allow American Pipelining Supplies to have a full range of lining options for our clients. Inversion lining is our specialty, and pull-in-place is theirs. By joining forces, we can provide all of our clients with every option they could need for small-diameter lining inside and outside buildings and homes.”
