About Wheatland

At Wheatland Tube, we’ve been making it easy for our customers to stock and install our products since we began manufacturing in 1931. We trace our legacy of service all the way back to 1877, when John Maneely, the founder of Wheatland’s parent company, began selling pipe, valves and fittings in Philadelphia.

Today, Wheatland is a division of Zekelman Industries, the largest independent steel pipe and tube manufacturer in North America and a leader in modular construction innovations. We’re proud to serve the industry with our expansive portfolio of American-made products and best-in-class technologies that MAKE IT eZ for distributors to work with us.
