ASC Engineered Solutions expands portfolio with the addition of the GroovJoint(TM) brand. Oak Brook, IL | July 1, 2026 ASC Engineered Solutions ("ASC"), a leading provider of engineered flow management solutions, today announced the acquisition of the GroovJoint(TM) brand, a respected name of stainless steel grooved, press, and fabricated piping systems serving the mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, industrial, and process piping markets. The addition of the GroovJoint brand expands ASC's portfolio of engineered piping solutions and strengthens the company's position in the growing stainless-steel market. For more than 20 years, GroovJoint has earned the trust of customers through high-quality products, technical expertise, and exceptional customer service. Its commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and an American-made foundation aligns closely with ASC's 175-year heritage of delivering reliable solutions for the built environment. "GroovJoint has built an outstanding brand recognized for quality, technical expertise, and customer service," said Jason Hild, CEO of ASC Engineered Solutions. "The addition of the GroovJoint brand strengthens our portfolio and expands our ability to support customers with a broader range of stainless-steel piping solutions. Together, we are building a strong foundation while continuing to invest in innovation, operational excellence, and long-term growth." Customers should expect business as usual. Existing customer contacts, ordering processes, products, service teams, and support structures remain unchanged. By combining GroovJoint's stainless steel expertise with ASC's manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, and operational capabilities, both organizations are well positioned to deliver greater value to contractors, engineers, fabricators, distributors, and project owners. The acquisition reflects ASC's continued commitment to investing in innovative piping solutions and supporting the long-term growth of the stainless-steel market. About ASC Engineered Solutions ASC connects high-quality products with advanced technology, service, and support. With nearly 2,000 employees, the company's extensive portfolio of precision-engineered piping supports, valves and connections provides products to more than 4,000 customers across industries, such as commercial and residential construction, industrial, fire protection, and oil and gas. Its portfolio of leading brands includes ABZ Valve(R), AFCON(R), Anvil(R), Anvil
ASC rigid couplings revolutionize fire safety. ASC Engineered Solutions has launched two new patent-pending rigid couplings designed to streamline fire safety piping system installations. The recently introduced SPF Anvil Fig. C9-CL and Gruvlok Fig. FP74CL include Sabertooth(TM) Installation Technology, which facilitates swift and precise visual and tactile installation verification. These couplings have gained both FM Approval and UL Listing, ensuring they are ready to meet industry standards. Efficient grooved fire system joint installation. The Fig. C9-CL and Fig. FP74CL couplings provide one of the most efficient methods for grooved fire system joint installation currently available. With a simple touch or brief look, installers can confirm the couplings are correctly positioned, even in challenging environments such as tight or dimly lit spaces or areas obscured by ductwork. This quick verification process allows contractors to proceed confidently with their work. Innovative coupling design. These new couplings feature an improved design over traditional indicators like "positive offset" or "pad gap," which can sometimes be ambiguous. By running fingers across the indicator surfaces, installers can easily confirm the couplings are secured properly, reducing the risk of overtightening bolts. The newly developed CenterLOK(TM) gasket in the Fig. C9CL and Fig. FP74CL ensures precise alignment with pipe end grooves, facilitating straightforward two-handed placement. Ready-to-Install state and domestic manufacturing. The Fig. C9CL and Fig. FP74CL are supplied in a ready-to-install condition, eliminating the need for loose parts or disassembly before use. This introduction by ASC Engineered Solutions represents a valuable addition to their wide array of innovative joining and hanging solutions tailored for the fire safety installer sector. Notably, the Fig. FP74CL is produced in the USA, meeting domestic product requirements where necessary.
ASC Engineered Solutions has opened a new fully certified service center in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, specializing in providing a full-suite of mechanical and hydraulic snubber inspection, testing and repair services for the nuclear power industry.
KKR & Co. and Apollo Global Management Inc. are providing a more than $1 billion direct loan to private equity-owned, Oak Brook-based ASC Engineered Solutions, winning the deal over Wall Street banks, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
ASC Engineered Solutions, a leading provider of flow management solutions, including precision engineered pipe joining systems, flow control products, support solutions and related services, announced today that it has acquired Ward Manufacturing from Proterial America, a subsidiary of Proterial.
