| Wisconsin Tubing, Inc. got it's start back in 1967, when Leon Derber saw an advertisement in a newspaper about plastic tubing and he wrote the company about the availability of representing the company in Wisconsin. The Newark, New Jersey had not even started production, but within three month of writing his letter, Leon began purchasing the tubing. |
| |
| When Leon and his wife, Orva, started the business, they were installing concrete tile. They saw plastic tubing as an alternative to concrete and clay tile. The Derbers have some of the first plastic tubing installed in the United States on their family farm. |
| |
| After they started distributing the tubing, they got out of the installation business. In 1982, Wisconsin Tubing, Inc. began to manufacture the tubing themselves. At first selling only in the agricultural market, in 1983 they began to sell in the commercial market. The tubing can be used as culverts, for drainage around residential and commercial construction, and for many other drainage uses. In addition to the tubing, the company handles full lines of adapters, couplings, snaps, caps, plugs, el grates, and guards. Wisconsin Tubing, Inc. has it's own fleet of trucks, carries tubing from 2" to 48" in diameter, and distributes throughout the Upper Midwest. |

| Leon and Orva are now semi-retired, serving as consultants to the company which is run by their children. Paul Derber runs the maufacturing part of the company overseeing the 25 employees, Gary Derber handles sales on the road, while their daughter Beth and her husband Lance Treptow run the office and bookeeping departments. |

| Serving the Upper Midwest for over 35 years, Wisconsin Tubing is a family-owned and operated business providing you with products with selection, value and proven performance! |
