Teraplast, founded in the late 19th century as a manufacturer of ceramic tiles, has since developed into a manufacturer of pipes (in PVC, PE and PP) and profiles (in both PVC and aluminium). In addition, the company produces a wide range of PE-based flexible packaging. Other branches of the company also make PVC granules, as well as recycling PVC. Its main focus, however, is the construction market – especially its complete pipe systems that include accessories and fittings.


Product lines:


The company supplies pipes for a variety of applications. One range includes pipes for housing – such as PVC plumbing pipe and PP pipes and fittings for sound absorption). Its domestic drainage pipe includes products such as guttering. On a larger scale, its water and gas transport pipe is used in infrastructure projects – and requires high strength – while it also offers electrical conduit pipe. This includes corrugated pipe (to protect electrical cable) and solid pipe for fibre optic cable or buried cables, for instance.


Factory locations:


The company has eight manufacturing locations – all in Romania – with a total area of more than 300,000 sq m and around 80 production lines. Teraplast says it aims to become the largest plastics processing company in Eastern Europe (excluding Poland).
