Victaulic, the world leader in mechanical pipe joining systems, was founded in New York City in 1925 to market a radical new concept in the piping industry – a mechanical bolted coupling that would engage into grooves and use a gasket seal to ensure strong and reliable joining solutions.

The concept of joining pipe with bolted mechanical couplings originated during World War I for rapid deployment of fuel and water lines to Allied forces. The company that worked closely with the War Department of England to develop this new method of joining pipe was named Victory Pipe Joint Company after the coupling it had engineered — known as the "victory joint" from early military uses. Later, combining the words "Victory" and "Hydraulics" the name was shortened to Victaulic, and the company began to shift its focus to commercial piping applications to market its new innovative method of joining pipe.

For more than 80 years, the company’s enthusiasm for crafting unconventional solutions has allowed it to forge new paths as it tackles the industry’s most unique challenges.

Due to advancing expansion of the company in 1999 the decision to open production in Europe was taken. On the basis of the conducted analyses it was decided to make an investment in Drezdenko foundry. The reasons to make that decision were not only convenient localization and economic conditions but mainly great experience and traditions of the foundry. In 1946 it already served for the restoration of the country destructed by warfare. Later, the production of agricultural machine parts was its principal activity profile. Since 1999 the company has developed substantially. The investments in new equipment were made and the production profile has been changed into ductile iron articles.
