About us
Empire Pipe and Supply: A Look Back
Empire Pipe & Supply was founded in 1972 in Birmingham, Alabama by Cullom Walker, Jr. The business was centered in waterworks and natural gas distribution, and a desire to transform responsive service in our industry.
In 1976 we introduced steel pipe to our portfolio and began coating and lining steel casing pipe for road boring contractors. Mr. Walker owned and operated the company for the next 42 years before retiring.
In 2014, David Blount, Jr. ( CEO), purchased the company with that same focus and service-oriented philosophy and brought with him a larger, further reaching vision.
Empire Pipe and Supply: A Present View
Since this partnership, we have grown to be a regional distributor of underground utility products in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. We currently have 9 locations, and our customer base consists of Utility Contractors, General Contractors, Municipal Utility Districts, and Private Developers.
Empire Pipe and Supply: A Future Vision
We represent many great manufacturers in this industry and value those relationships. These relationships provide great flexibility when our customers need it most. We believe in learning from our customers, our employees, and our industry to encourage a proactive thought process centered around innovation development.
We are not perfect, but we are always focused on the best interest of our customers. From the CEO down, we still start every day with “if it matters to you it matters to us!”. We look forward to serving You!
