Don created the <b>W-60</b> pipe coupon cutter, cam-arm pipe saddle/miter cutter, weld testing machines and grinding jigs. These machines quickly became popular and were put into production across the USA. <br><br> In 2001, Don sold <i>Watts Specialties</i> to <b>Dave Collins</b> (see Mgt photo). Dave developed a computerized pipe cutter along with the manual pipe cutters that made Watts a name in fabrication shops. In 2017, Dave Collins and Katie Collins opened a new company, <b>Watts Process Machinery</b>, and continues to manufacture and sell all of the smaller <i>Watts Specialties</i> manual cutters that started the company over 40 years ago. <br><br> <a href="https://www.wattsmachinery.com/" target=_blank><i>Go to the</i> Watts Process Machinery Site</a> </p> </div> <div class="col-sm" style="margin:5px;padding:10px" data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-delay="100"> <center> <h4 style="margin-top:5px"><b>Watts Machinery Management</b></h4> <img src="images/2023/mgt-watts-machinery.jpg" width="50%" border=1><br> <div style="font-size:16px"> <!-- <b>David Carr</b> - 34 years in Pipe Cutting sales and support<br> <b>Ralf Hamacher</b> - 30 years in business management<br> --> <b>Dave Dunham</b>: 20+ years in pipe cutting sales and support <br> <b>Dave Collins</b>: 40+ years in sales, service and manufacturing<br> <!-- <b>Jan Sulimma</b> - 20 years in steel cutting (expert in Plasma integration). --> </div> </center> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm"> </div> <div class="col-sm"> <a href="http://www.wattsmachinery.com" target=_blank><img src="images/watts-machinery-logo.png" alt="Watts-Machinery" title="Watts-Machinery in Washington State" width="35%" style="float:right;margin:5px"></a> <p style="margin-left:30px">WATTS PROCESS MACHINERY<br> 2301 East Pioneer Ave. Suite B<br> Puyallup, WA 98372 <br><br> <b>(253) 770-4858</b> </p> </div> </div> </section><!-- End Services Section --> </div> </div> </div> </section><!-- End About Section --> </div> </div> </div><!-- End .content--> </div> </div> </div> </section><!-- End About Section --> </main><!-- End #main --> <!-- ======= Contact Section ======= --> <section id="contact" class="contact section-bg"> <br> <div class="container"> <div class="row" data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-delay="200"> <div class="col-lg-6 "> </div> <div class="col-lg-6"> </div> <!-- Partners Table for Footer --> <table border=0 style="background:#ffffff;width:98%;margin:15px 0px 0px 10px"> <tr> <td><center> <a target=_blank href="http://www.pfi-institute.org/index.php"> <img src="images/PFI-logo.jpg" border="0" style="margin:10px" width=114></a> <a href="http://www.pador.com/index.php" target=_blank><img src="images/pador-white.jpg" style="margin:0px 5px 15px 5px" width=128 style="margin:10px" border=0></a> <a href="http://www.mcaa.org" target=_blank><img src="images/2023/MCAA-300px.jpg" style="margin:10px" width=140 border=0></a> <a target=_blank href="http://www.kjellberg.de/"> <img src="images/kjellberg-logo.gif" border="0" style="margin:15px 0 0 5px" height=34></a> <a href="http://www.hypertherm.com/en-us/" target=_blank><img src="images/hypertherm-logo.png" width=129 height=22 style="margin:-3px 0 0 10px" border=0></a> <br> <div style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;font-family:arial;color:#121212"> <img src="images/plasma-partners-v2.gif" width=220> </center> </td> </tr> </table> <br> <!-- ======= END: Footer ======= --> </div> </div> </section><!-- End Contact Section --> </main><!-- End #main --> <!-- ======= Footer ======= --> <footer id="footer"> <div class="footer-top"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-6"> <div class="footer-info" data-aos="fade-up" data-aos-delay="50" style="height:240px"> <p style="font-family:verdana;font-size:16px"><b>Phone:</b>+1 253-848-9288 <br> <center> <section class="services"><a href="contact-rfq.php"> <div class="quote-box" style="background:#ff8080;border-style:solid;border-width:2px;
