Northwest Pipe Company specialises in water-related infrastructure products. It faced headwinds in 2023 due to the small bidding market and interest rate environment. The ageing US water infrastructure is in need of repairs to meet the current demand. For the next 20 years, total state needs are forecast at $625 billion. NWPX's strategically located plants in states with higher water CAPEX and wide market reach position itself well to capitalise on this growing demand for water infrastructure.
