Mission Statement
PVF ROUNDTABLE
The PVF Roundtable is an organization of industry professionals involved in the Pipe, Valve and Fitting industry. The membership is committed to providing an open dialogue to exchange relevant information, creating awareness of current industry affairs which affect the entire PVF community. In addition, we prepare for the future of the industry by providing funds to educational and training institutes to encourage the growth of the PVF field.
PVF Roundtable Welcomes Caroline Capelle to the Board of Directors
The PVF Roundtable Board of Directors has elected Caroline Capelle, Business Development Director at
Galperti Engineering USA, to join its leadership team. Capelle is the third
member of the PVF Roundtable Young Professionals Committee to advance to the
Board, and she has been actively volunteering with the organization since 2019.
“I’m truly honored and grateful to have been
elected to the PVF Roundtable Charitable Board. It means even more to serve
alongside so many people I admire and who have inspired me over the years,”
said Capelle.
With more than 15 years of experience in the
PVF industry, Capelle is eager to take on a greater role in supporting the
Roundtable’s charitable mission of raising funds for scholarships. Each year,
PVF Roundtable awards scholarships to students at seven colleges and trade
schools across Texas and Louisiana, supporting programs in engineering,
instrumentation, welding, and pipefitting. With the organization’s ambitious
goal of reaching $3 million in
scholarship endowments by 2026, Capelle’s passion and long-standing
dedication will be an invaluable asset.
She added, “The PVF Roundtable has been such a
big part of my journey in this industry, helping me grow both personally and
professionally. It’s very special to now give back to the organization that has
given me so much, and to support its mission of education, scholarships, and
connecting PVF industry members. Education is critical to keeping our industry
strong, and I’m proud to be part of an organization that truly invests in the
next generation.”
The PVF Roundtable is honored to announce that we have been awarded the AFP award for outstanding community service
This would not be possible without our exceptional board members and member companies!
