Pipelife is now Ireland’s No.1 plastic manufacturer of ‘Guaranteed Irish’ domestic, industrial and agricultural piping systems for the Irish market.
Pipelife is Ireland’s leading manufacturer and provider of plastic piping systems. Specialising in the extrusion of polyethylene (PE) pipes, Pipelife offers industry leading products for the heating & plumbing, water pressure, electricity, cable ducting, gas and agricultural sectors. Drawing on over 55 years of manufacturing experience from our production plant in Cork, Pipelife has invested very heavily in modernising its production facilities and in recent years the Irish operation has focused very heavily on renewable heating products & services, along with its traditional focus on plumbing & heating pipes and fittings. We also have a large focus on sewage, soil, rainwater and roofline products and has grown significantly over the years in the Irish, UK and continental European market.
The Pipelife Group is a company with annual revenues of €1bn a year. We operate in 24 countries and employ 3,000 employees in 28 manufacturing locations. Pipelife is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Wienerberger Group, with group revenues of over €4bn per year and 16,000 employees worldwide.
Pipelife Ireland Solutions Limited are also proud members of Guaranteed Irish. This membership indicates our commitment to supporting local employment, contributing to the community, and ensuring the Irish provenance of our products. As a member of Guaranteed Irish, we also demonstrates a dedication to high-quality standards and a positive impact on the Irish economy and society.
There has been a significant investment at our production facility in Little Island over the last 2 years which has resulted in us having one of the most modern facilities within the Pipelife Group.
We have expanded and upgraded the existing production site and we are on target to have 35 state-of-the-art extrusion lines incorporating the latest automation technologies, with a planned output approaching 45,000 tonnes per annum by 2026.
The significant investment in new equipment, personnel and services is without parallel in our sector in Ireland and will position our Irish operations as a world class manufacturing facility for many years to come. This very visible investment shows Pipelife’s long term commitment to the Irish market and there is no doubt that the scale, modernity and product portfolio of the new Pipelife Ireland operations will be very attractive as a supply chain partner for the major merchant groups, builders and installers in the country.
