PVF Roundtable

The PVF Roundtable is an organization of companies involved in the pipe, valve and fitting industry. These firms may be manufacturers, distributors, piping designers, engineering firms, construction companies or end-users. Membership is by company, with each firm designating a Primary Member, who serves as the main contact, and as many Associate Members as appropriate as in any geographical location served by that firm. This permits both national and local concerns to be identified and addressed by the Roundtable if applicable. The PVF Roundtable is chartered under the laws of the State of Texas as a not-for-profit corporation and membership costs may be treated accordingly. Membership is renewable on a calendar basis. A listing of present members is available on this Website.

A General Assembly Meeting is held in Houston several times a year, at a convenient, centralized location. These Meetings open with a social hour, providing an informal means of ensuring that attending members can meet and share ideas and solutions to common problems. An early buffet dinner is served, with the Meeting being formally opened around 6:00 P.M. Organizational topics are the first order of business, followed by the self-introduction of Sponsors and attending members. A Featured Speaker(s) is introduced, to provide a presentation of interest to the members. The Meeting is normally adjourned at 8:00 P.M. These General Assembly Meetings are open to all designated Members and guests and represent an important forum for the dissemination of industry information.
