We are delighted to announce that BRUGG Pipes, in collaboration with our longstanding distribution partner in the USA, Rovanco Piping Systems, has entered into a production joint venture agreement.
BRUGG Pipes, a global leader in flexible and rigid piping systems, and Rovanco Piping Systems, a renowned manufacturer of prefabricated, pre-insulated piping systems, are joining forces and expertise to initiate the first continuous production of flexible, polyurethane-insulated piping systems for the district heating & cooling sector in North America. This significant investment will involve the development of production facilities at Rovanco's Chicagoland location in the coming months.
“As the leading provider of pre-insulated piping systems in North America and our partner in this market for many years, Rovanco plays a key role in this partnership. This collaboration will enable us to deliver high-quality, flexible piping systems such as CALPEX PUR-KING or RHINOFLEX to our existing customers in North America, especially Rovanco Piping Systems, more quickly without the lengthy lead times with pipe coming from Europe," explains Geri Wirz, Head of International Business at BRUGG Pipes.
"The joint venture solidifies our long-term partnership. With BRUGG Pipes' market expertise and in-depth knowledge in PUR insulation foams for flexible pipes, we are poised to further increase our market share in North America. We look forward to this," says Chad Godeaux, President of Rovanco Piping Systems.
The distribution channels of BRUGG Pipes and Rovanco will remain unchanged, ensuring that customers continue to receive the service they are accustomed to from both companies.
