Our History
Blue Diamond Industries was founded in 2004 by six managers of Moore DP, a manufacturer of metal cabinets to the cable TV industry.
The original Blue Diamond was a manufacturer of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) water tubing. When Moore acquired the business in 1997, they focused the company's efforts on HDPE conduit products to serve the cable TV, telecom and network construction applications. Moore grew the pipe business, adding plants in Kentucky, Oklahoma and Germany to support the growth. In 2004, these six managers of Moore purchased Blue Diamond Industries to operate a standalone business with the Kentucky manufacturing facility supporting the eastern half of the US.
Over the years, under the leadership of the six managers, Blue Diamond made and divested in multiple pipe technologies and manufacturing operations.
In early 2015, a severe snow storm devastated the production facility. Blue Diamond Industries made a significant investment in a new facility that could manufacture the complete innovative conduit product solutions utilized by communication and power industries to protect fiber optic, data and power cables. The Middlesboro, KY manufacturing capabilities and capacity has continued to expand to address the growing needs in the Power Utility, Cable TV, Broadband, Commercial & Industrial and Department of Transportation markets. Blue Diamond is dedicated to investing in our people and the Middlesboro facility to meet the needs of the marketplace.
In January of 2018, Hexatronic Group AB (publ), acquired Blue Diamond Industries. Hexatronic Group AB develops, markets and delivers products, components and system solutions with a focus on the fiber optic market. Hexatronic offers a wide range of innovative system and product solutions mainly for passive fiber optic infrastructure with global trademarks like Ribbonet®, Micronet™, Drytech™, Lightmate®, FibreHub™, Matrix, Viper, Stingray and Wistom®. The Hexatronic acquisition gave Blue Diamond Industries the ability to increase our product offering and expand our capital investments to meet the growing needs of our customers. Hexatronic's unique knowledge of microduct and fiber has accelerated Blue Diamond's product development and ability to offer an expanded line of products, including microduct solutions.
In April of 2020, Hexatronic, in support of Blue Diamond Industries, launched a new high capacity production facility in Aubrey, Texas to meet the increased demand in the United States. The production plant in Aubrey, TX expanded Blue Diamond Industries manufacturing capabilities to serve a significantly larger geographical market. The Aubrey facility boasts top of the line, high efficiency/high output extruders that has enabled Blue Diamond to expand the value we provide to our customers across the United States.
The Future
Since Hexatronic's acquisition of Blue Diamond Industries in 2018, we have continued to have very positive accomplishments in capacity expansion, customer growth and technology advancements. Blue Diamond Industries continues to develop beyond Hexatronic's original expectations. Hexatronic Group AB (publ) is committed to making significant investments in Blue Diamond Industries as we expand our geographical presence and conduit technology to serve a wide range of market applications from residential, power utility, cable TV, Broadband, Commercial & Industrial, Department of Transportation and the US infrastructure investment nationwide.
