Pipelife’s modernisation plan shows commitment to Irish Market

Demonstrating its long term commitment to the Irish market, in June this year Pipelife Ireland completed the first phase of its latest investment plan in its manufacturing operation in Cork.  This first phase investment of €15m entailed the replacement or upgrade of the entire water cooling and raw material distribution networks across the entire plant, the upgrading of offices, canteens, locker rooms, toilets, the installation and commissioning of six new high speed, automated extrusion lines for PVC, ABS and PP products, and the completion of a new purpose built Renewables Academy to cater for training of installers, architects, specifiers, & merchants.

In the coming months Pipelife will be installing four further high speed, automated extrusion lines, and the continuing investment plan will see all older extrusion lines being replaced by the end of 2027, bringing the total investment in the Cork plant to over €30m.

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.
