Company Profile

For half a century, Hastings Irrigation Pipe Company has logged experience in design, manufacturing and distribution of light metal products. From its beginning in 1949 in a small garage in Hastings, Nebraska, Hastings Pipe Company produced only one specialty product. That one product, however, was built from aluminum - a relatively new and exciting light metal. Today, Hastings Irrigation Pipe offers 180,000 square feet of manufacturing space in their Nebraska plant. They also have a pipe plant in California. Today, Hastings markets many light metal products world-wide. Many of these "specialty" products have set the standards for their specific use. The variety of products they manufacture continues to expand and is limited only by the imagination of their customers. Over the years they have shipped products to all 50 state and over 270 foreign countries. The philosophy of Hastings Irrigation Pipe Company has been not only to develop high performance products but also to find better, improved ways of using these products. Proof of this company philosophy can be seen in the many various industries that have utilized Hasting's ability: agricultural, architectural, construction, electronic communication, energy/oil, marine/boating, meteorological systems, trucking and tube mills. Hastings continues to look for new industries to serve. Hastings has the capability to design, blueprint, cast, prototype and produce anything dealing with light metal. They are willing and ready to offer their services at any state of development, but feel their real strength is in the complete package - design through products. Involve Hastings early and reap the dividends.
