Nupi was originally founded in 1972 as a producer of polyethylene (PE) pipes for water and gas under pressure. Since then, it has expanded into new areas such as multi-layer pipe, plumbing systems and the oil & gas sector. It also began making polypropylene (PP) pipe – with its Niron range – in 1977.
Product lines:
The company makes polyolefin pipe for a number of applications. It offers both PE80 and PE100 pipe for pressurised gas and water pipe – as well as relevant fittings. Its Elamid range is PA12 pipe for gas transport. The company also produces multi-layer pipe for the oil and gas sector, including its Ecosmart range. In plumbing, its Elotherm pipe is used for transporting both hot and cold water. In addition, its range of PP pipes is used in a variety of end markets. Its Niron Beta range, for instance, includes RCT pipes that can withstand higher stress conditions and temperatures. Niron Climacool Pro pipes offer enhanced UV protection.
Factory locations:
Nupi has six manufacturing sites – four in Italy and two in the US. It distributes its products across five continents. The company recently began producing its Niron Beta PP-RCT pipe using an ISCC Plus-certified grade from Borealis. The material is renewable – and helps Nupi reduce the carbon footprint of its products. The company says that it produces around 25,000 tonnes/year of pipes and fittings.
