What FERRATEX INC does

FerraTex Services, Inc., doing business as FerraTex Solutions and FerraTex Service & Rentals, is a Virginia-domiciled, privately held provider of Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) wet-out services and CIPP liners founded in 2013. The company impregnates felt and hybrid glass/fiberglass liners with resin, either at its five U.S. wet-out facilities in Martinsville VA, Newfoundland NJ, Ft. Pierce FL, Lebanon TN, and Houston TX, or on-site via a mobile wet-out system, and delivers them in temperature-controlled, GPS-tracked trailers to B2B trenchless pipe rehabilitation contractors and municipal utilities across the U.S., Canada, and parts of Mexico. Liners are sourced from Applied Felts, including fiberglass-reinforced hybrid liners capable of lining 8-to-96-inch diameter pipes including pressure applications, meeting ASTM F1216 standards.

FerraTex operates four complementary revenue streams: wet-out services (professional services), CIPP liner sales (hardware), rental and brokerage of reconditioned CIPP equipment such as boiler trucks, steam trucks, and refrigerated trailers (hardware), and technical services including on-site support and cost-savings analysis. The company achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification in 2017, signaling quality management maturity, and positions itself as a logistics-focused partner offering on-site, on-time delivery with dedicated drivers, representatives, and senior leaders supporting each engagement. Pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed, with all inquiries routed through a "Request Pricing" contact flow.

The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales with no reseller or channel partner network, relying on direct relationships, the company website, social media presence (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and inbound phone and email inquiries. The leadership team comprises CEO Robert Cooper, CTO Amalia Bruno, and Co-Founder David Ferry, with Christina Torres also on the leadership team. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity in the source data, and is headquartered at 901 Hollie Drive, Martinsville, Virginia.
