Insituform

Insituform

Insituform Technologies, Inc. is a worldwide provider of trenchless technologies for gravity and pressure pipelines. It is publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASD: INSU).

Insituform's inception was prompted by the invention of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) by Eric Wood of the United Kingdom in the early 1970s. Its name comes from the Latin phrase "in situ form," which means to "form in place." The name was genericized to describe the CIPP process for several years following the expiration of the Insituform patent.

In 2007, Insituform announced that it would exit the tunneling business [http://milwaukee.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/stories/2007/04/09/story17.html] and seek a buyer for Affolder, Inc. Insituform announced a new President and CEO on April 7, 2008. John J. Burgess, former CEO of Veolia Water North America, joined Insituform on April 14 of 2008.
