SUGAR LAND, TX--(Marketwired - Jun 12, 2013) - Written by Eric Funderburk, Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas) -- Industrial Info has seen expenditures on pipe, valve and fitting (PVF) products rise in the U.S. each year since 2009. In that year, annual PVF reached a low point of approximately $9.1 billion because of the large number of delays and cancelations of industrial projects.
