Established in 1968, Pipe Supports Limited was born out of her parent company, British Industrial Engineering to provide a comprehensive range of pipe supporting equipment to the power generation and petro-chemical industries. After 25 years in private ownership the business was purchased by Hill & Smith Holdings Plc in 1993 and the Pipe Supports Group was created. Providing a global solution for piping engineers, the Pipe Supports Group is one of the largest businesses in this sector and has manufacturing facilities in India and the USA.
