River Valley Pipe, LLC Celebrates 10 Years of Excellence in Water Management Solutions

Lacon, IL - July 10, 2024 - River Valley Pipe, LLC (RVP), a leader in water management products and solutions, is proud to celebrate its 10-year anniversary. Founded in 2014 in Lacon, Illinois, RVP has grown from a small local business to a recognized name in the industry, known for its commitment to quality, honesty, and unmatched customer service.

Reflecting on a Decade of Achievements

River Valley Pipe was established with a mission to provide no-nonsense problem-solving for ag drainage. This commitment has been the driving force behind the company's success over the past decade. From supplying high-quality water management products to ensuring seamless and on-time delivery, RVP has consistently delivered on its promise to customers.

"Our mission has always been to dig in for our customers because their mentality’s the same as ours — no-nonsense problem solving for water management," said Harold Poignant, Jr., Founder of RVP. "We supply water management products and solutions with unmatched honesty, commitment, and relatability. Each and every person on our team listens to our customers, leverages our boots-on-the-ground experience, and handles every customer with direct honesty — all to make their water management operations run as smoothly as possible."

Milestones and Successes

Over the past ten years, RVP has reached several significant milestones:

Expanded Product Line: Starting with a small list of diameters, RVP now manufactures all standard single-wall diameters and 10 fittings, with more planned.

Growth in Market Reach: What began as a local operation now serves a broad customer base across the entire Midwest (plus some), reflecting the trust and reliability that RVP has earned in the industry. RVP has grown from one production line in one location with eight employees to five lines in two locations with more than 50 employees, much of which has taken place in the last five years alone.

Scaled Commitment to Quality and Service: RVP's dedication to providing consistent quality pipe, no-nonsense delivery, and transparent pricing has set it apart within the industry, and RVP has been able to maintain this level of service through rapid growth. The incredible success of the company’s expanded operations in Iowa serves to illustrate that the RVP mission and the people behind it are scalable.

Challenges Overcome

The journey to success has not been without its challenges. The water management industry is known for its intense competition and the need for constant vigilance. RVP has faced these challenges head-on by maintaining a focus on customer needs and leveraging its unique contractor background to implement practical, consistent, and effective solutions within its operations.

Employee and Customer Stories: The Heart of RVP

A significant part of RVP's success can be attributed to its dedicated employees and loyal customers. RVP’s robust leadership and employee base highlight the company's supportive and growth-oriented culture. The tenure of core RVP employees nearly spans the history of the company, and the additions to the team, especially in recent years, provide the backbone of the organization. Anyone who’s worked with RVP’s incredible team understands this.

Customer testimonials also play a crucial role in RVP's narrative. One long-time customer, a contractor near Peoria, IL, is quoted as having said, "RVP has been a game-changer for us. Their commitment to quality and on-time delivery means we can always rely on them to help keep our projects on track. They truly understand our needs and deliver beyond expectations."

Iowa Falls Facility: A Pillar of Growth

A cornerstone of RVP's recent growth has been the establishment of the Iowa Falls facility in 2022. This facility has not only expanded RVP’s manufacturing capabilities but has also become a vital part of the local community.

"The Iowa Falls facility represents a significant milestone for River Valley Pipe," said Blaine Adams, CEO of RVP. "Since its opening, it has played a crucial role in our production efficiency and capacity, enabling us to better serve our expanding customer base. The dedicated team at Iowa Falls embodies the spirit of RVP — hardworking, honest, and committed to excellence. On top of that, IA Falls is just a terrific place to do business. We love spending time there.”

Looking Ahead

As River Valley Pipe looks to the future, it remains committed to its core values and mission. The company plans to continue its tradition of quality and excellent customer service while exploring new opportunities for growth and expansion.

"We’re excited about what the future holds for RVP," said Adams. “We plan to continue our growth in both product development and geographic footprint. But, at the end of the day, the team’s ultimate goal is to achieve growth only by hitting the ground running, maintaining the high standards our customers expect, and continuing to build strong relationships based on trust and mutual respect."
