Centric Pipe

What Centric Pipe does

Centric Pipe is a privately held Texas LLC founded in March 2014 through the acquisition of ERW (Electric Resistance Welding) mill assets in Bossier City, Louisiana and Houston, Texas. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas with 101-250 employees, the company operates as an API Certified manufacturer and supplier of Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG) and Line Pipe serving oil and gas exploration and production customers. The company maintains two U.S. manufacturing facilities — an ERW mill in Bossier City, LA (API License 5CT-1721) and an additional facility in Ore City, TX (API License 5CT-2070) — and runs a hybrid supply model that combines domestic manufacturing with international supply chain solutions to serve customers both domestically and internationally.

The company's core product portfolio spans three lines: OCTG (API 5CT grades J-55, L-80, N-80, P-110 plus proprietary grades CP-80, HCL-80, HCN-80, HCP-110 and Controlled Yield/Enhanced Burst variants), Line Pipe (API 5L, grades A53B through X-70), and Connections (Plain End, STC, LTC, BTC plus semi-premium and GB Connections proprietary thread designs via partnership). Manufacturing relies on the ERW process with hot-rolled continuous-cast coils, inline ultrasonic weld inspection, hydrostatic testing, rotary straightening, and an on-site metallurgical lab performing mechanical property, chemical, hardness, Charpy, and metallographic analysis. OCTG size range covers 2 3/8" to 13 3/8" OD with wall thickness from 0.190" to 0.480"; line pipe covers 2-7/8" to 6-5/8" OD.

The business model is direct B2B sales (enterprise field sales motion) of commodity tubular goods on a quote-based pricing structure. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of OCTG and line pipe to oil and gas industry buyers, with no disclosed pricing, no public revenue figures, no funding history, and no parent company or institutional investors identified. The customer base is concentrated in a single vertical — oil and gas — with no named customer logos available, suggesting reliance on relationship-based enterprise sales to E&P operators, distributors, and oilfield service companies.
