IVRCC Celebrates Ribbon Cutting for AUL Pipe and Tubing Inc. in El Centro

For decades, contractors, fabricators, and businesses across the Imperial Valley often looked beyond the region for structural steel and industrial materials. Today, AUL Pipe and Tubing Inc. is helping change that.

AUL Pipe and Tubing Inc. officially celebrated the opening of its new El Centro location with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony hosted by the Imperial Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce. Located at 264 W. Main St., El Centro, CA 92243, the expansion marks an important milestone for the company while strengthening access to industrial supplies for businesses throughout the Imperial Valley.

Originally founded in 1975 by Hank Aul, the company has earned a reputation for providing structural steel, pipe, tubing, steel plates, steel bar, and other industrial products. After purchasing the business, Ramon Ozuna saw an opportunity to expand its reach by opening a branch in his hometown of El Centro, while the company's corporate headquarters continue to operate in Montebello, California.

Together with business partner Abelardo Figueroa, Ozuna recognized a growing need within the Imperial Valley. Many contractors, builders, businesses, and homeowners previously traveled to neighboring communities to purchase essential construction and industrial materials. The new El Centro location was established to provide those products locally, making them more accessible while supporting projects throughout the region.

Beyond its extensive inventory, AUL Pipe and Tubing Inc. is committed to building long-term relationships through dependable service, competitive pricing, and personalized solutions. The company specializes in structural steel, pipe, tubing, steel plates, steel bar, and other industrial materials, with a mission to deliver services that many metal distributors cannot or choose not to provide.

The Imperial Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce was honored to celebrate this milestone alongside community leaders, business partners, family, and friends. Events like these highlight the continued investment in the Imperial Valley and the entrepreneurs who are helping strengthen the region's economy through innovation, expansion, and local service.

Congratulations to AUL Pipe and Tubing Inc. on the opening of its El Centro location. We look forward to seeing the company continue serving businesses and residents throughout the Imperial Valley for years to come.
