Core offering

egeplast international GmbH manufactures and sells polyethylene (PE) pipe systems for critical infrastructure applications including drinking water, gas, wastewater, telecommunications cable protection, power cable protection, industrial use, and hydrogen transport. The company offers a complete system portfolio of pipes, custom fittings (egeFit), trenchless rehabilitation systems (egeLiner), high-pressure pipes (SLM 3.0, HexelOne), Power Protect cable protection, and the Green Gas Pipes permeation-barrier range, complemented by technical consulting, training (egeAcademy), and digital planning tools.

Product overview

egeplast international GmbH is a leading manufacturer of plastic pipe systems (Kunststoffrohrsysteme) for future-proof infrastructure. Founded in 1908, the company offers comprehensive system solutions for drinking water, gas, wastewater, telecommunications, electricity/power cable protection, industry, and hydrogen applications. The product portfolio centers on polyethylene (PE) pipe systems designed primarily for trenchless installation methods alongside conventional open-trench installation. Key product lines include the egeFit fitting program, egeLiner close-fit rehabilitation system, SLM series (SLM 3.0, SLM DCT) and HexelOne high-pressure pipes for gas networks, Power Protect PE-RT for power cable protection, and the Microduct family for telecommunications. The company has recently introduced Green Gas Pipes featuring integrated permeation barrier technology to reduce hydrogen and methane emissions. Beyond physical products, egeplast offers digital tools (Produktfinder, Webkalkulator, XpertEye), technical services, training (egeAcademy), and monitored pipe systems (egeSmart:Data). All systems are designed for a minimum 100-year service life.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• DVGW (Deutscher Verein des Gas- und Wasserfaches)coreStrategic or Co-development Partneregeplast participated in a DVGW research project with leading German gas utilities to develop and validate the Green Gas Pipes multi-layer PE pipe system with integrated permeation barrier. The research included DVGW G 452 squeeze tests, welding trials, and extensive permeation measurements. The project demonstrated that the multi-layer pipes meet operational requirements and achieve significantly improved permeation properties for hydrogen and methane compared to standard PE pipes.
• ZEPRIS s.r.o.minorChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorZEPRIS s.r.o. is a Czech Republic-based specialized trenchless installation company that executed the rehabilitation of DN 500 steel gas pipelines in Prague using egeplast's egeLiner® close-fit relining technology in 2022. ZEPRIS handled the on-site installation and collaborated with planners and investors on project documentation.
• B+ INGENIEUR Gesellschaft mbHminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerB+ INGENIEUR is referenced as a managing partner company of egeplast, with Dipl.-Ing. (SFI) Erwin Behrends listed as managing partner. B+ INGENIEUR appears in a testimonial supporting egeplast's role in the energy transition through its pipe systems.
