From The Market Leaders in Pipework Technology
 KWH Pipe is one of the world leaders in the production and development of plastic
pipe systems with production units in Europe, Southeast Asia and North America.
The company also develops technology and sells equipment that compliment core
operations as well as carrying out turnkey projects involving design, planning and
installation of pipe systems. Our experienced staff assists you in solving even the
most difficult problems relating to the transportation of liquids and gases for various
types of installations.

KWH Pipe appreciates environmental, health and safety interests as an important

and inseparable part of its business. KWH Pipe strives towards prevention of waste
and recycles wherever waste can not be avoided.
KWH Pipe does not use materials which have been proven to be unacceptable for
the environment, health and safety. Open minded relations to both customers and
to authorities are an important part of our daily business. KWH Pipe is engaged in
the Responsible Care-program, which helps us to maintain our production on a
high level and to evaluate environment, health and safety interests caused by
production processes, materials and products.

KWH Pipe maintains complete quality control from raw material to finished
pipe product by establishing strict manufacturing specifications. Most KWH Pipe
factories around the world hold the Quality System Certificate as proof of operating
a quality management system meeting the requirements of ISO 9000.

KWH Pipe is a wholly owned subsidiary of the KWH Group Ltd of Finland. Our
production of polyethylene pipework began in 1955 and since then we have
continued to expand and develop our product range, until in 1976, KWH Pipe
became the first company in the world to produce 1600 mm diameter solid wall
pipe. Even today, the company remains one of the few manufacturers who can
produce this diameter of pipe. Since then, KWH Pipe developed the Weholite pipe,
an innovative lightweight pipe for non pressure applications which today can be
manufactured up to 3 metres in diameter.

 Pressure Applications

Polyethylene (PE) pipes are widely used for water and gas applications. Special
areas of use include marine pipeline installations (for both intake and outfall
applications) and for mining applications (such as slurry lines.)

Polypropylene (PP) pipes are successfully used for applications where high
temperatures and high chemical resistance are required, such as chemical plants,
pulp and paper plants and mining industries

PVC pressure pipes are mainly used for underground water applications outside
buildings.

PEX pressure pipes are used for cold and hot tapwater installations as well as for
water carried heating solutions such as floor heating and radiator based heating.

WehoFloor floorheating system is a complete system where

the components’ compatibility is guaranteed.

KWH Pipe offers a wide range of fittings to the above to build up a total pipeline
system.
KWH Pipe also offers a comprehensive range of both injection moulded and
electrofusion fittings suitable for their range of polyethylene pipework used for water,
gas and industrial applications.
In addition, the Pre-Fabrication Division is able to offer a range of “special” fittings
to meet individual customer requirements.
