Albina Pipe Bending's Philosophy

From its inception, Albina Pipe Bending has striven to establish a diverse customer base. As a result, we serve customers with large volume orders and "walk-ins" looking for just one piece of work at a time. Regardless of the size of the order we always endeavor to meet our customers' needs by providing on time, quality products at reasonable prices.

In this economy, if you choose the lowest price, you will get what you pay for. It may seem like a risk to purchase from a supplier that isnt' the "lowest price", but consider the "costs" associated with a low price. If you choose the low price, you may deal with late delivery, poor quality or incorrect parts and lack of or delayed communication. Albina Pipe Bending will offer you the "fair price" and we will provide you with a better quality product. We will provide you the correct parts- the first time. We will provide on-time delivery. The price of our competitors may be below ours, but when you add up all of the actual costs to receive and install the material, is there really a cost savings?

Albina Pipe Bending has the ability to produce from customer supplied samples, drawings, fixtures or templates. Distortion estimates and samples will be provided upon request to eliminate any uncertainty by the customer.

Albina Pipe Bending spends a considerable amount of time on Research and Development creating procedures that accommodate the customer's ever changing needs. In an effort to produce higher quality products, we constantly look to improve or purchase machinery that produce unusual, non-conforming products without spending our customer's money. Every piece of bending equipment that Albina owns has been engineered and upgraded to perform beyond known industry specifications. In fact, the second piece of equipment we owned was built using mechanical gears and the transmission of an old Model-T. That machine is still in use today. Innovative thinking, coupled with research and development, has presented Albina Pipe Bending with many opportunities.

Management emphasizes not only research and development, but machine upkeep as well. To stay on top of unforeseen circumstances (like machinery break down), we have established an intense, routine maintenance program. This has helped to increase the productive life of key equipment.

Albina's imagination, resourcefulness and dedication to R&D and machine upkeep are key factors in our success.
