Comment
Founded in the United States and going global years later, Lock Joint Pipe Company was a manufacturer of concrete pipes for underground water pipelines. At one point, it was the largest supplier of prestressed concrete cylinder pipe in the United States. Possibly the largest the world, they had plants in several U.S. states and several locations in Africa, such as Monrovia, Liberia. The company dissolved in 1984.
