“Gary Moore has had as much to do with Victaulic’s growth over the last 20 years as anyone,” said Victaulic Chairman John Malloy. “His greatest legacies are the Victaulic sales organization as it stands today, the leadership of this organization, and the careers Gary has created for such a talented group of individuals.”
Moore began his career with Victaulic in 1988 as a sales representative in Canada. Through his exceptional performance and leadership, he advanced through various roles, including Vice President of Sales, Vice President & General Manager, and President of Victaulic Company of Canada, Limited. Moore then joined the executive leadership team at World Headquarters in Easton, PA., to lead the global sales organization. He was named Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer in 2023. Throughout his tenure, Moore has been instrumental in driving revenue growth and product innovation.
Moore has been an active leader within the construction industry, serving as the National Director of the
Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada’s Supplier Council. He has also been involved with the MCAA Manufacturer Supplier Council in the U.S. for 22 years, including five years on the Board of Directors and serving as Chairman in 2009.
“It has been the privilege of my professional life to serve Victaulic for nearly four decades,” said Moore. “I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in expanding our global presence and developing innovative solutions that have transformed the construction industry. The relationships built with customers, partners, and especially my Victaulic colleagues have been the most rewarding aspect of my career. I’m confident that Mark’s leadership will take the company to even greater heights, and I look forward to seeing Victaulic’s continued success in this next chapter.”

Milestones Include One Billion Solution Installations Worldwide, Contributions to Eiffel Tower, Hoover Dam and Other Iconic Projects
Victaulic celebrates a century of innovation—100 years since it was granted its first industry patent for mechanical pipe joining solutions. On its Centennial “Innoversary,” the company continues to develop and patent groundbreaking technologies, with a current portfolio of more than 2,000 patented solutions that transform the building and industrial construction industries, while driving new industry standards in performance and safety.
From the very beginning, Victaulic recognized the importance of hands-on demonstrations and building customer relations.
In 1919, Lieutenant Ernest Tribe filed the first patent for The Victory Joint, the first mechanical bolted coupling to join grooved pipe ends. Now known as the Victaulic coupling, the invention enabled critical piping infrastructure to be installed more quickly, safely and cost effectively than traditional methods. While first devised for military applications, the coupling went on to revolutionize the construction industry.
“For 100 years, Victaulic’s reputation has been built on customer collaboration, delivering new technologies that enable productivity, and reducing risk across the construction lifecycle,” said Victaulic’s Chairman, President & CEO John F. Malloy. “Our Centennial ‘Innoversary’ is not only an opportunity to look back on our achievements, it’s also great motivation to make our next century even more valuable for our customers and rewarding for our employees.”
Today, one billion Victaulic solutions have been installed worldwide in some of the world’s most important, iconic and ground-breaking construction projects, including the Hoover Dam, Eiffel Tower, Beijing Olympic Stadium, Petronas Towers and Hudson Yards. The company’s 4,000 employees are spread among 37 branches, 13 manufacturing facilities and five foundries around the world. They proudly serve customers in 120 countries with a variety of application solutions across diverse industries, such as commercial buildings, oil, gas and chemical facilities, power generation facilities, mining operations, and municipal and clean water operations.
Victaulic broke ground in 1976 to construct its foundry and world headquarters office, on 84 acres of farmland in Easton, Pennsylvania.
Victaulic has been part of Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley business community for almost 40 years, having first been headquartered in New York City. Victaulic’s “Innoversary” coincides with current global expansions and investments that will add close to one million square feet to Victaulic’s manufacturing operations, expanding manufacturing capacity to serve customers around the globe. Set to open in 2020, the new, state-of-the-art manufacturing center in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, a 400,000 square-foot facility, is the result of increased domestic demand for the company’s products and the company’s desire to manufacture its products in close proximity to its customers. Additional global expansions include the company’s facilities in Dalian, China; Drezdenko, Poland; and Ontario, Canada.
“Our next 100 years will include more customer-centric innovation as technology grows more rapidly than ever before and we continue to make strategic R&D investments,” said John Malloy. “Our company is an exceptional place to work because of the dedication of our employees and a shared passion for customer excellence across the entire global Victaulic family.”
Victaulic will celebrate its centennial throughout 2019. For more information about Victaulic’s 100 Years of Innovation visit https://www.victaulic.com/100-years-innovation/.
