Tristate Valves and Controls, Inc.

History

Tim Pieper purchased Tri-State Controls in 1992 and renamed it Tristate Valves & Controls, better known by the acronym TRIVACO. At the time our main focus was to provide severe service valves to the Power and Paper Industries. Our main customers were CG&E, LG&E, Big Rivers Electric and Willamette. They are still loyal customers today.

Evolution

By 1995 we had opened up new markets; Coal Prep being the largest. Our focus was still severe service valves, but new product lines emerged: Pneumatic and Electric Actuators, Air Heaters and Slurry Valves became prominent in our overall success. We built a new 12,000 square foot facility to accommodate the growth.

Growth

By 1997 we added coverage for the Process, Municipal and Gas Transmission Markets. We added 24,000 square foot of warehousing and manufacturing space to accommodate a complete in-house fabrication, machining and assembly shop. We added engineers, designers, machinists and fabricators so we could better serve our customers automation needs. Dampers and Damper Drives have been added to our product offering, along with fiberglass pipe and grating.

Future

Field Service, Field Installations and Turnkey Programs have now entered the arena. Customers are demanding these services and we have grown and staffed to accommodate these needs. We envision these services becoming a very substantial portion of our overall portfolio. We intend to remain a “privately owned regional specialty valve and equipment supplier”. We have repeatedly rejected offers for mergers and acquisitions. We want to expand our capabilities to service our customer’s needs for the products and services we offer.
