CRC-Evans Pipeline International continues to grow its base pipeline products through acquisitions contributing to the company's technical and service capabilities. Jim Cummings observed that a man and a mule performed backfilling, and he knew there was a better way to get the job done. He built a “bulldozer” attachment for his Ford tractor that was an immediate success. This attachment received a U.S. Patent, which hangs on a wall in the Tulsa office.

During its history, many significant industry "firsts" were developed by the company, which contributed to the equipment industry, as we know it today. Among them the first successful pipe cradle in 1929. In 1932, development of the powered Pipe Cleaning Machine resulting in the construction of what was then the world’s longest pipeline, a twin 12-inch line stretching 660 miles from Kirkuk to the Mediterranean coast. The forerunner of the Coat And Wrap Machine was introduced by CRC as the powered wrapping machine in 1934.

In 1952, CRC marketed the IMCO Band-Type Beveling Machine. The first commercial Double Jointer was built by Crose-Perrault as a joint venture with the H.C. Price Company in 1957. In 1957; CRC acquired the patent rights for the Kelley Ripper Tractor Attachment, and commenced assembly in Houston . This design was an ideal pipeliner’s tool that could double the output of a standard big inch ditcher. (Initially these rippers were sold only through Caterpillar dealers). In 1960, Crose-Perrault built the Internal Pneumatic Line-up Clamp. In 1963, CRC produced a vertical hydraulic bender.

In 1963, CRC also embarked on a new venture, the manufacture of sideboom attachments, for Allis-Chalmers. During 1967, CRC-Crose produced many types of equipment, including, but not limited to, Kettles, Coat and Wrap Machines, Double Jointers, and a Stationary Grit (Shot) Blast Machine. In 1970, CRC-Crose completed its line of Pipe Bending Machines with the introduction of a plate-type PB16-30. In 1973, CRC-Crose installed its first set of deck equipment on a lay barge at the IHC shipyard in Holland . Because of cold bending tests performed in Dallas for the Alaska pipeline, large orders were received in 1974.

The bright spot for 1983 was the introduction by Pipeline Equipment of the very successful Hydraulic Plug Mandrel (HPM) and probably more importantly the obtaining of a patent protecting its manufacture. The highlight of 1984 was the sale and installation in the Sinai Peninsular of Egypt of that country's first successful Pipe Coating Plant. In 1994, Pipeline Equipment installed its first Three-Part Coating Plant at the NPCC facility in Abu Dhabi . In 1998, the Centurion line of Fast Benders was introduced; the first small bender re-designs since 1962. The new line of Pneumatic Wedge Mandrels was introduced, the first extension to the Mandrel range since 1982. In 2002, CRC-Evans acquired the World-Wide sole franchise for the Laurini Padding Machines.

As a result of the development of its technology base, CRC-Evans holds approximately 129 patents covering its machines and features. CRC-Evans continues to lead the industry in innovations and technology.
