(Hobas), the leading North American manufacturer of corrosion-resistant fiberglass pipe products for water and wastewater related infrastructure, announced today an increase in the company's product offerings and capacity to meet the growing demand in the municipal potable water market due to the passage of the Infrastructure and Investment Act as well as the Biden administration's strengthening of the Buy American Act.
