ISM-Houston: Piping Technology & Products, Inc. Plant Tour

Piping Technology & Products, Inc. (PT&P) has kindly agreed to host an on-site plant tour.

This isn’t just a walkthrough. It’s a unique behind-the-scenes look at the precision, flexibility, and problem-solving that power some of the most demanding industrial environments in the world. PT&P proudly serves industrial manufacturing clients around the World.

PT&P’s key capabilities span gas piping, adaptable manufacturing workflows, highly complex and custom engineering solutions, in-house foam production, and the ability to support rapid, unique customer requirements. They maintain a workforce of approximately 700+ employees, including design engineers, industrial engineers, and specialized technical staff.

The tour will provide participants with an in-depth look at several PT&P manufacturing and engineering areas, including the Cut Shop, U.S. Bellows, SNF, and the Foam Shop. There will also be a discussion on their Supply Chain Management execution dynamics.

All attendees must adhere to PT&P safety protocols, including wearing closed-toe shoes, keeping provided safety glasses on at all times within shopfloor areas, and following the facility’s photography restrictions. Please note that certain areas of the plant may have limited visibility due to safety and compliance requirements.

PTP has generously provided an Exclusive Internship opportunity. All students who attend will have the opportunity to apply for the Summer Internship Program. Registration will be based on a first-come, first-served basis, and early registration is recommended. The registration fees will contribute to the ISM-Houston Scholarship fund.
