The company TAG Pipe Equipment Specialists LTD (TAG PIPE) was originally founded in the United Kingdom in 1985. Its core activities were the manufacturing and supplying of pipework fabrication tools and machinery, as well as handling equipment. Over the years TAG PIPE became internationally one of the foremost leaders in its field for pipe equipment including pipe cutting and beveling machines.

S.F.E. Group’s TAG PIPE range of cold cutting and bevelling machines is established and recognised as one of the world’s leading and prominent brands.

Being one of the driving factors of the organization’s success, TAG PIPE’s range of pipe cutting and bevelling machines warranted becoming its own brand in 2019 following the merger in 2019 of B&B Pipe and Industrial Tools LLC (USA), Mathey Dearman Inc. (USA) and TAG Pipe Equipment Specialists (UK) and the recent addition in 2022 of AXXAIR (France) into Specialized Fabrication Equipment (S.F.E.) Group.

Backed by more than 35 years of development, S.F.E. Group’s brand TAG PIPE not only ensures the highest quality heavy duty machines utilising the latest technology, but also an emphasis on continuous R&D. Our research and development is what allows us to provide superior pipe equipment compared to our competition, such as pipe cutting and beveling machines.

As an OEM, S.F.E. Group prides itself on being renowned for its innovations, ground-breaking developments and patented designs within the TAG PIPE range. With its engineering capabilities, customer-oriented focus and flexibility, the TAG PIPE brand provides the possibility to design out-of-the-box machining applications and solutions to fulfil customers’ projects’ specific needs in particular and to cater for an ever-evolving industry in general.

The TAG PIPE brand portfolio consists of a complete range of portable pipe bevel machines (PREP machines covering 1" - 24"), the TAG PIPE cutting and bevelling splitframe clamshell machines (1" - 120"), as well as the stationary, yet moveable EZ FAB machines (2" - 16") for pipe cutting and bevelling, the EZ pipe saws and finally the PMM plate bevel machines.
