Puk Pipe

PUK PIPE was born on and still happily resides on the beautiful banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded by Kevin Bruns, this company is truly a “garage founded” company. Originally made on a drill press in 1989 in a friend’s garage during high-school, everyone loved the pipe design (though it only had four bowls in the early days) and was put to rest for a while to await re-emergence. Then a few years ago, after a career at NASA, the design was revisited by Kevin and fully revived as a truly engineered and manufactured product. The production then was more of a prototype lab until the company purchased its first 3-axis CNC router in May of 2009 to produced its first line of wood PUKs. During this time, the production level was approximately 50-100 units per week and costs were high. Today, we are well out of the garage and have sold thousands of units around the world using various materials and now are geared for our next phase…the much anticipated Glass PUK.
