What Hauraton does

HAURATON GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held, family-owned German manufacturer specialising in surface water drainage and integrated rainwater management, founded in 1958 and headquartered in Rastatt, Germany. The company operates across the full rainwater management lifecycle — drain, treat, infiltrate, and retain — through three proprietary material platforms: FASERFIX fibre-modified concrete using basalt fibres (since the 1970s), RECYFIX recycled polypropylene composite (since 1995, Blue Angel certified), and steel channel systems (40+ years of development). Its product portfolio spans approximately 40 SKUs across five categories (surface drainage in five load classes from residential to extreme, surface water treatment, rainwater infiltration, retention, plus cable management and sport infrastructure), with proprietary adjuncts including the SIDE-LOCK grating system, hydraulic calculation software, BIM services, and intelligent sensor technology.

The company sells principally through direct sales supported by expert planning teams and a global network of local sales partners, supplemented by 18+ country-specific websites serving European markets plus an International and Asia portal. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue derives from hardware sales of channel systems, treatment separators, and infiltration/retention blocks, alongside professional services for custom drainage concepts, hydraulic calculations, and BIM integration. Customer segments are organised vertically across residential, commercial, airports, motorsports, sports facilities, ports, industrial/logistics, roads/tunnels/railways, flat roofs, and public spaces, with active operations in over 70 countries. Quality is certified to EN 1433:2002, ISO 9001:2015, and CE-marked across the product range.

• NDS (National Diversified Sales): NDS is a North American leader in residential and commercial drainage channels, catch basins and stormwater management, the closest US-market analogue to HAURATON's residential and light-commercial channel lines, with similar channel drainage products.

Broad incumbents

• Wavin (Orbia): Wavin is a broad incumbent in water management (water supply, wastewater, stormwater and infiltration) and competes with HAURATON in plastic/composite surface drainage and infiltration/crate systems across Europe, Asia and Latin America, though it is a much larger multi-category player.
• Polypipe (Genuit Group): Polypipe is a UK-listed incumbent in plastic piping, stormwater management and sustainable water solutions, overlapping with HAURATON's RECYFIX composite channels and infiltration products, particularly in UK and Irish infrastructure markets.
• Alumasc Building Products: Alumasc supplies building envelope products including rainwater goods and linear drainage channels, overlapping with HAURATON's flat-roof, façade and commercial building drainage segments in the UK and Europe.

Regional players

• ACO Drain (North America): ACO Drain is the North American arm of the ACO Group and the main regional competitor to HAURATON's airport, port and heavy-load channel drainage in the US and Canadian infrastructure markets.
• JDP (John Davidson Pipes): JDP is a UK and Ireland distributor/manufacturer of drainage, sewer and stormwater products that overlaps with HAURATON's light- and medium-duty channel range and competes for infrastructure specification business in those geographies.

Emerging players

• ACO Stormbrixx (infiltration systems): ACO Stormbrixx is a specific modular infiltration/attenuation crate system that competes head-on with HAURATON's DRAINFIX BLOC and RECYFIX HICAP F retention/infiltration products in sustainable drainage (SuDS) applications.
