About the CEO — Harrison Horton

Founder & CEO

Harrison Horton

34+ years in industrial piping & welding

Harrison "Harry" Horton has spent his entire career around pipe, steel and the people who weld it. He came up through the trade the hard way — on shop floors and job sites — earning a reputation for flawless welds, straight answers and an obsession with doing the job right the first time.

In 2012 he founded RhineCrest Piping to build the kind of company he'd always wanted to work for: technically excellent, genuinely accountable, and small enough that the owner still knows what's happening on every project. More than a decade later, that hands-on philosophy still defines how the company runs.

Get in Touch About the Company

"A weld either meets the code or it doesn't. There's no in-between, and there's no hiding it. We build every system as if our own name is stamped on the test report — because it is."

— Harrison Horton, Founder & CEO

The Journey

From apprentice to owner

A career built one qualified weld at a time.

Early Career

Learning the trade

Started on the tools as a pipefitter and welder, mastering layout, fit-up and multi-process welding across carbon steel, stainless and exotic alloys.

Mid Career

Leading in the field

Moved into supervision and project coordination, running fabrication and erection crews on process, marine and power installations — and seeing first-hand where most piping projects go wrong.

2012

Founded RhineCrest Piping

Launched the company with a simple promise: code-true welds, honest scheduling and an owner who stays close to the work.

Today

Building nationwide

Leads a team of certified welders and fabricators serving clients across all 50 states, with projects spanning reverse-osmosis skids to titanium process piping overseas.

What He Stands For

The standards Harry refuses to compromise

Weld Quality

Every joint qualified, inspected and documented — no shortcuts on the things that hold pressure.

Straight Talk

Honest timelines and clear communication, even when the news isn't what a client wants to hear.

People & Safety

A crew that goes home safe and is treated like professionals does the best work — every time.

Off the Clock

The same focus, away from the shop.

When he's not on a job site, Harry spends his time outdoors and with family — the kind of grounded, no-nonsense person you'd expect to be running a fabrication shop. He's known among long-time clients as someone who picks up the phone himself and remembers the details of projects from years ago.

That continuity is part of what keeps customers coming back: many of RhineCrest's clients have worked with Harry and his team for the better part of a decade.
