About
ISCO Industries was born out of a love for all things golf. In 1962, founder Jim Kirchdorfer, Sr. was running his family's hardware store in the heart of Louisville, KY, when he recognized a need and developed a solution. A long-time golf devotee, he parlayed his love of the game into a business specializing in underground golf course irrigation, naming the venture the Irrigation Supply Co. (ISCO). In 1975, he learned of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a revolutionary piping material that was more reliable and longer-lasting than other options. Since then, his sons Jimmy and Mark have built ISCO into a truly global piping solutions provider - the largest in North America - with more than 35 facilities across the United States and Canada. ISCO stocks and sells a wide variety of piping materials, offers custom fabrication, and provides expert engineering support for municipal, industrial, and oil/gas HDPE piping projects of all sizes and complexities.
