Michigan Seamless Tube Acquires Blue Diamond Trademark from Wheatland Tube
10/24/2014 - Michigan Seamless Tube LLC (MST), a manufacturer of high-quality carbon and alloy seamless cold-drawn tube and pipe, and Wheatland Tube, North America’s leading standard and sprinkler pipe producer, announced that MST has acquired the exclusive rights to the prestigious Blue Diamond® brand of A106 seamless pressure pipe from Wheatland Tube.
As a result of this transaction, MST is now the sole domestic producer of this specialty pipe to the North American steel market.
Since 2012, MST has served as the sole manufacturer of A106 pipes for Wheatland Tube, providing the necessary materials for Wheatland Tube to offer threaded and coupled pipes with a Blue Diamond finish. MST’s acquisition of the Blue Diamond brand makes it the premier American destination for all A106 products.
“Our partnership with Wheatland Tube has been mutually beneficial, and we feel that it is a natural transition to bring Blue Diamond in-house alongside MST’s other choice tube and pipe products,” said Ted Fairley, vice president of sales & marketing at MST. “Blue Diamond is an exceptional piping product that exceeds ASTM A106 requirements, and during its rich history the brand has come to symbolize industry excellence. As always, MST remains dedicated to providing its customers with only the highest levels of customer service on goods that are 100% melted and manufactured in the USA. This commitment will now extend to a diversified product line and expanded customer base.”
“We've been extremely pleased with the private label partnership we’ve forged with MST and the working relationship we’ve built with them,” said Mark Magno, president of Wheatland Pipe Division. “They consistently provide exceptional quality and customer service, and we will happily refer all current and future Wheatland standard pipe customers to MST for all of their A106 seamless pressure pipe needs.”
