Emtelle extruder of the month


Head office: Hawick, Scotland, UK CEO: Mads Hogfeldt 1980


Founded: Ownership: Private Employees: 800 worldwide Turnover (2014): €155m


Profile: Emtelle was founded in 1990 as a manufacturer of PVC primary duct systems to network products for the telecommunications industry. As well as growing this side of the business – and expanding internationally – it has now diversified into other extruded products including polyethylene pipe for drinking water.


Product lines: The company’s main focus is still on ducting products, such as its FibreFlow blown fibre products that protect optical fibre cables and PowerProtect systems for the power sector. However, it is increasingly active in the water and sewerage market, supplying PE pipe systems in Scandinavia for both drinking water and sewage systems. It also supplies irrigation systems in India, following the 2010 acquisition of local manufacturer Parixit Industries.


Factory locations: The company has four global manufacturing sites. Two are in Scotland – in Jedburgh and Hawick. It has a third plant in Denmark, in Sonder Felding, where it recently took delivery of Battenfeld-Cincinnati machinery to make four-layer PE pipe. Its fourth plant is in India, at the former Parixit site in Gujarat.
