In 2015, members of the third generation of family-owned Totten Tubes started talking about succession planning. That initial meeting-now referred to as the "hot tub meeting"-set the Azusa, California-based business on a steep growth trajectory. What started in a Los Angeles warehouse in 1955 by founder Marvin Totten has grown into a five-location, 125+ employee operation. Sales in 2021 topped out over $100 million.
