"Huth is a torch that keeps burning.  It's been passed on a few times, but will be here for a long time."  Those are the words of Joe Becker, who along with longtime business associate Tom Hechimovich bought Huth from Midas Corp. back in April 2005.

Huth, a division of Huth Equipment, Inc., has bought the Ben Pearson Tubemaster bender division from Quest Corp.  Joe Becker, president, said a purchase agreement was reached Sept. 30, 2008.

Joe Becker and Tom Hechimovich are looking out for shop operators who make a good part of their living by bending exhaust pipe. The two formed in 2005 when they bought the Huth Bender Division from Midas and then bought the Ben Pearson Tubemaster Division from Quest Corp. in 2008.

From the time he was in high school until he retired, Gerry Huth, inventor of the Huth bender, was always in the pipe business.
