Epic Piping Upgrades Livingston, Louisiana, Operations

12/19/2025
Epic Piping, an industrial pipe fabrication and distribution company, plans to upgrade its operations in Livingston, Louisiana. The $25 million project is expected to create 76 jobs.

The investment will include a new fully staffed large-diameter and heavy-wall production line at the company’s existing manufacturing facility located at at 28445 South Frost Road.

“Epic Piping has deep roots in Louisiana, and today Louisiana is home to not only this growing world-class fabrication facility, but also our corporate headquarters,” United Weld Holdings, LP, Epic Piping’s parent company, CEO Remi Bonnecaze said. “We are grateful for the opportunity to align closely with the visionary leadership of Governor Landry and the LED team. Their success in attracting transformative projects positions Louisiana as a national leader in the reshoring of American manufacturing, and we are humbled to play a supporting role in bringing these initiatives to fruition while helping create quality, long-term, high-impact jobs for Louisianans.”

To support the project the state of Louisiana offered Epic Piping, LLC an incentives package that includes the workforce development solutions and $900,000 from the Economic Development Award Program for infrastructure improvements. The company is also expected to participate in the state’s High Impact Jobs and Industrial Tax Exemption program.

“Epic Piping’s expansion is a strong example of the progress taking hold across Louisiana’s economy,” noted Louisiana Economic Development (LED) Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois. “As investment grows in energy, manufacturing and data infrastructure, companies like Epic Piping are expanding to meet that demand. This project reflects the strength of our statewide industrial ecosystem and the opportunities being created for Louisiana workers across multiple industries.”

Epic Piping, a portfolio company of Bernhard Capital Partners, specializes in large-scale projects for energy (oil & gas, power, chemical, renewables), transportation, and biomedical sectors.

“We’re delighted to see Epic Piping expand in Livingston Parish,” added President & CEO of the Greater Baton Rouge Economic Partnership Lori Melancon. “As one of the largest privately owned pipe fabrication and distribution firms in the world, their decision to grow here reflects the advantages they’ve found in the Capital Region — a site that can support their next phase of expansion, access to skilled talent, and coordinated support from state and local partners.”
