Major Investment For ACO PIPE®

ACO Building Drainage, one of the world's leading commercial drainage specialists, has completed a major investment in new tooling at its stainless steel pipe plant in the Czech Republic and has plans for further investment at its UK manufacturing site in Bedford later this year. Designed to support ongoing growth in ACO PIPE® sales across the UK and Europe, the investment in the Czech Republic has increased the company's annual pipe production capacity by 100% enabling it to offer exceptionally short lead times on UK deliveries. It also means ACO Building Drainage can produce 250mm diameter pipe to meet a growing requirement across Europe. Andy Buchan, Divisional Managing Director of ACO Building Drainage, comments: "The continued investment in pipe production underlines our commitment to providing customers with a comprehensive range of the very best pipe systems and related products. It also supports the launch of new products and through our commitment to providing a high quality service with increased levels of stock, means we can now deliver pipe to UK customers almost immediately upon receipt of an order." Manufactured from 304 and 316 grade stainless steel, ACO PIPE® products come in sizes ranging from 50mm to 250mm and are fully pickle-passivated as standard for optimum durability, virtually zero maintenance and long product life. ACO also manufactures a galvanised range - 'GMX'. Suitable for use in a wide range of applications including commercial offices, transport infrastructure projects, food production facilities and even ship building, ACO PIPE® products feature a dual-seal design with double lip for optimum system reliability. Products can be used with range of more than 2000 stainless steel accessories including branches, couplings, rat-stop pipes and bottle traps. They are also fully compatible with other ACO stainless steel systems to ensure the end user always gets the best high performance solution. To support its investment and reinforce its position as a leading service provider for construction industry professionals, ACO Building Drainage is also expanding its in-house design and specification team.
