Pipelife Group: A fine Scan on Pipelife Sweden
Although Pipelife Sweden is the youngest member of the Group in Scandinavia, the company has been quick to achieve good growth and a fine reputation.
The firm’s Swedish roots were founded through the acquisition of a plastic pipe factory in Ölsremma during 1997 and a second factory in Ljung in 1999. Mats Thoren, marketing manager of Pipelife in Sweden explains: “Pipelife’s manufacturing operations in Europe are streamlined. That is why our two factory sites have tended to specialise. For example, in Ljung near Gothenburg we concentrate on making polypropylene pipe systems for soil & waste, sewer, and polyethylene pressure pipes. These are medium range pipes from 16 mm to 630DN.” They are produced in combination with a large injection-moulded fitting production that is equipped with a high degree of automation.
