Victaulic was founded on innovation. In 1919, Ernest Tribe and Dr. Henry Hele-Shaw filed the patent for what is now known as the Victaulic coupling, the concept was groundbreaking: joining pipe with bolted mechanical grooved couplings, using a gasket seal. The company, originally known as The Victory Pipe Joint Company, was renamed Victaulic which combined the words “VICtory” and “hydrAULIC”.

Before Victaulic, the piping industry relied primarily on welders for joining pipe. Victaulic’s innovative design introduced the industry to an efficient, more economical way to assemble pipes quickly, safely and over longer distances than ever before.

Les colliers de Victaulic ont d'abord été utilisés pour le transport de l'eau et du carburant. Soupçonnant les opportunités énormes de son innovation, l'entreprise s'est rapidement tournée vers de nouveaux marchés, tels que l'exploitation minière, la production d'électricité et la construction commerciale.
