For over 40 years, Construction Forms, Inc. has been a leader in the development and manufacture of concrete pumping systems and abrasion resistant piping systems to transport abrasive solids and slurries. The company was founded in 1969, with the goal of engineering and producing a complete line of concrete pumping systems and accessories for the rapidly growing concrete pumping market.

As pump manufacturers improved the performance and reliability of pump trucks, a small group of entrepreneurs came together in Cedarburg, Wisconsin to found Construction Forms, Inc. (Con Forms). The team quickly set out to refine delivery and placing systems used to convey concrete from the pump to the point of placement The company addressed the needs of standard pouring applications as well as more specialized applications, such as high-rises, tunnels, bridges, and large deck pours.

Customer needs drove innovation and rapid technological advancements. Steel pipe replaced aluminum, Hevi-Duty™ ends and couplings replaced grooved systems, induction-hardened pipe replaced standard steel for most applications. Con Forms continued to bring exciting new product developments to the market, such as Chrome Carbide Lined Backend Kits, elbows and pipe, Twin Wall™ boom pipe (a pipe within a pipe), the Ruff-Neck™ Reducing Hose, Air Cuff™ Shut-Off Valve, Flared End Systems, and many more. Today, the company's Con Forms division is an industry leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and service of safe, quality concrete pumping systems and accessories worldwide.

The Ultra Tech division of the company, established in 1989, manufactures an extensive range of abrasion resistant piping systems for the mining, pulp and paper, wastewater treatment and power generation industries. Ultra Tech carries on the induction-hardening process pioneered by X-Tek, Inc. in 1974, which was acquired by Construction Forms in 1989. In 1993, the company acquired the largest and latest generation of induction-hardening equipment from a competitor in the U.K.

Wherever abrasive solids or slurries are transported via pipelines, whether pneumatically or hydraulically, Ultra Tech's growing line of abrasion resistant piping products is setting new standards and providing up to six times the longevity of standard steel pipe. Recently, the division announced the expansion of pipe and tube bending services, with new induction bending capabilities of 3" - 26" diameter and induction-hardened bends up to 24" diameter.

A dedication to excellence in product performance and customer service has positioned Con Forms and Ultra Tech as industry leaders in the U.S. and around the globe.
