Riccini was founded by three brothers in 1952, as a manufacturer of cement pipes for sewerage systems. It was not until 1970 that the company began producing plastic pipes and fittings. This remains its focus today. The company makes, among other products, PVC pipes for construction applications, HDPE pipes for electrical cable protection and pipes for irrigation, sewage, water, oil, gas and fibre optic cable protection.
Product lines:
The company produces a wide range of pipe, mainly for construction and infrastructure. For sewer pipe, it offers products made from both PE and PP. Its Tripplo, for instance, is a high strength pipe made from high modulus PP, with a triple layer wall. Its pressure hoses include its Polier range of HDPE products, for high-pressure transport of drinking water. Its Drenofilter is a corrugated HDPE hose for drainage – in areas such as agriculture and sports fields. In construction, its Edilizia PVC pipe is available in diameters up to 630mm. It also develops pipes for special applications such as viaducts and drains.
Factory location:
The company makes its products at a 130,000 sq m site, which has three separate production plants. The company recently took delivery of a new line for multi-layer PE pipe, from Italian supplier Tecnomatic. The new line – which includes co- extruders, dies and a control system – will produce pipe of 20-90mm diameter, at outputs up to 600 kg/h. At this location, Riccina also carries out research and development into new products.
