What Cubis Systems does

Cubis Systems Ltd. is a Northern Ireland-headquartered manufacturer of modular polymer-based network access products — principally access chambers (STAKKAbox™ family, MONObox™), cable protection systems (MULTIduct™, PROtrough, RAILduct™, MMtrough), and access covers (AX-S™ composite, concrete infill, recessed, and ductile iron) — serving telecoms, rail, water, energy, highways, defence/security, and data centre infrastructure projects. The company is a trading division of Cubis Systems Ltd., incorporated in Northern Ireland, and operates as a subsidiary of CRH plc (NYSE: CRH), the global building-materials group, with a primary manufacturing facility at Lurgan (Co. Armagh) and a secondary manufacturing site in Co. Roscommon, Ireland, plus regional operations across the UK, Australia, France, Germany, Poland, the Middle East, the USA, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Products are made from polypropylene and composite polymers via injection moulding, rotational moulding, and composite layup, with components designed under 20kg for single-person installation.

Cubis sells via direct enterprise sales and a global merchant/distributor network using quote-based pricing that varies by configuration, volume, and project specification. The go-to-market centres on specification-stage influence: in-house specification engineers provide free design consultations supported by a BIM Library of fully interactive 3D product models, instant carbon insights, and CAD/BIM-ready outputs, which embed Cubis products into project drawings before tendering. Demand generation is layered through industry events (Railtex, Data Centre World, Connected North), a Training Academy (Lunch & Learn, CPD), technical content, LinkedIn and YouTube, and joint programmes with adjacent materials suppliers such as Tarmac and Hydro. Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales with potential for repeat orders across multi-year infrastructure programmes; a documented £235,000 saving on a £400k rail project evidences the total-cost-of-ownership proposition versus traditional concrete alternatives.

Core offering

Cubis Systems manufactures and supplies modular network access chambers, cable protection systems, and access covers used in underground utility and infrastructure networks. Its core product families are STAKKAbox (modular polypropylene chambers replacing brick and concrete), MULTIduct (multi-duct cable protection), PROtrough (lightweight fire-retardant cable trough), AX-S (access covers), and MONObox (single-piece chambers), alongside a BIM configurator and design consultation service that supports product specification for telecoms, rail, water, energy, highways, defence, and data centre projects.

Product overview

Cubis Systems is a manufacturer of sustainable infrastructure solutions, operating as a portfolio of physical product brands rather than a unified software platform. The product range centers on two core categories: Access Chambers (led by the STAKKAbox™ brand family including ULTIMA Connect, ULTIMA, JMF, Modula, Hydrant, Fortress, RapidSTACK, Utility, and Toby, plus MONObox™ with POLYvault™ and Carson sub-brands) and Cable Protection (MULTIduct™, PROtrough including PROtrough 350, RAILduct™, and MMtrough). Supporting these are Access Covers (D400 Composite Cover, AX-S™ Composite, Concrete Infill, Recessed, and Ductile Iron), Construction Accessories (Guardian Goalposts, Chamber Accessories, Meter Boxes, Duct Sealing), and a digital BIM Library tool for design integration. Products serve sectors including telecoms, rail, water, energy, highways, defence and security, and data centres, with a focus on sustainable infrastructure using recycled polypropylene and composite materials.
