CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Adult novelty manufacturer Pipedream Products welcomed a camera crew from Vice Media to its San Fernando Valley headquarters on March 30 as part of an upcoming pilot on manufacturing jobs in the U.S.
“I’m a huge fan of Vice!” said Pipedream’s Chairman and CEO Nick Orlandino. “It's amazing to me that Pipedream continues to be recognized by the mainstream media as not only the largest, but the authority in the adult novelty business today.”
The upcoming Vice piece is the latest in a string of other mainstream media appearances featuring Pipedream including Jimmy Kimmel Live, Vanderpump Rules and Billions.
During the Vice visit, Head of TV Development at Vice Media Brendan FitzGerald, along with director Lance Bangs brought a full crew and comedians David Gborie and Jesse Elias of Flophouse, who serve as the show hosts.
After a rundown of a company and industry history, Rob Phaneuf, Pipedream’s vice president of development, led the tour through all of Pipedream’s manufacturing plants while David and Jesse got a hands-on look at how sex toys get developed and produced.
The Vice team spent the entire day shooting at Pipedream. The piece will be distributed through one of the brands many international broadcast channels.
“It’s always great to welcome new faces to the Pipedream compound, but being a loyal ViceLand fan, this was really special,” said Phaneuf. “Showing people what we do here at Pipedream day in and day out, and of course seeing their reactions, is extremely rewarding and makes what we do so worthwhile.”
