What Sacpro does
Sacpro AB, founded in 1988 in Falun, Sweden (originally as Sacrab), is a specialized manufacturer and supplier of materials, tools, and integrated systems for trenchless pipe rehabilitation in buildings. The business is anchored by the proprietary Houseliner System — a complete cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) solution covering flexible liners (FL, FLT, FIX and the October 2025 WO round-knitted variant), epoxy resins in Slow, Medium, Fast, Ultra and UV-curing grades, branch pipes, relining connections, and supporting installation equipment (inversion drums, extruders, impregnation rollers, heat/steam curing systems). In 2025 Sacpro extended its platform with the acquisition of UVRelining, adding a competing UV-curing line that includes the UV XAIR LED curing system launched with US partner APS in February 2026.
Sacpro monetizes primarily through hardware sales of liners, resins, equipment, and consumables to certified plumbing and pipe-rehabilitation contractors, via a multilingual webshop, four direct offices (Falun HQ, Stockholm/Sollentuna, Arlöröv, and Kaarina in Finland), and a global reseller network with exclusive or authorized distributors across eight or more countries (USA, Australia, UK, Greece/Cyprus, France/Switzerland/Belgium, Malta, Brazil, Netherlands) plus the Nordic region. A secondary revenue stream is a paid 3-day installation training and certification program — 16,000 SEK per person in Sweden, EUR 1,600 per person in Finland — that has produced a base of more than 230 certified installers and functions as a pull-through channel for consumables and tools.
Sacpro operates as a privately held, PE-backed company. It was acquired by Swedish private equity firm Helix Kapital in 2024, at which point Sacpro Group AB was established as a parent entity over operating subsidiary Sacpro AB and sister company Peanta Inventions AB. Group leadership is Swedish; Erik Karlsson was appointed CEO and Group CEO in 2026, succeeding Fredrik Sterner. Market access rests on an unusually broad certification stack (RISE CR072, ASTM, Eurofins, SINTEF, WaterMark, ISO 9001, ISO 14001) that functions as a substantive regulatory and quality moat for the Houseliner System in municipal and commercial tenders.

Sacpro competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Insituform Technologies: One of the original CIPP patent holders and a major US/European trenchless rehabilitation contractor. Competes with Sacpro on cured-in-place liner systems for building and municipal sewer rehabilitation, with much larger scale.
- Rothenberger: Global plumbing tools and pipe maintenance equipment manufacturer. Sacpro's Sactools line competes with Rothenberger in pipe cleaning, robotic cutting and installation tooling for plumbing and CIPP installers.
- Trelleborg (Pipe Seals business): Global industrial group with pipe sealing, polymer lining and rehabilitation technology. Far larger and broader than Sacpro, but competes in the same trenchless pipe sealing and rehabilitation space across multiple geographies.
Direct peers
- Per Aarsleff: Danish trenchless rehabilitation contractor and technology provider (Aarsleff Pipe Technologies). Closest geographic peer to Sacpro in the Nordic CIPP market with overlapping trenchless relining equipment, installation services and certified systems.
- LMK Technologies: US-based CIPP liner and equipment manufacturer focused on lateral and building sewer rehabilitation. Comparable to Sacpro in curing methods, resin systems and certified liner products for the North American market.
- Saertex: German manufacturer of glass-fiber and felt reinforcement liners used in UV-cured CIPP rehabilitation. Overlaps directly with Sacpro's Houseliner and UVRelining liner portfolios, particularly for sewer and building drain applications in Europe and globally.
- HammerHead Trenchless: US manufacturer of CIPP lateral lining equipment, inversion drums, curing systems and consumables. Directly comparable product portfolio to Sacpro's Houseliner tools (inversion drums, extruders, impregnation units).
- Rädlinger (TRACTO / Rädlinger ZSK): German trenchless technology specialist producing CIPP liners, resins and installation equipment for sewer and building drainage. Strong overlap with Sacpro's Houseliner equipment and UV curing system lines.
- Brawoliner / Brandenburger: German-based manufacturer of CIPP liner systems and epoxy resins. Sacpro has been Brawoliner's first worldwide BSC partner since 2018 and resells the Brawo I/III/RR/LR/HT resin lines, making Brandenburger both a supplier-partner and the most direct global CIPP competitor to Houseliner.
Emerging players
- Vortex Companies: US-based trenchless rehabilitation products and services group. Active in CIPP chemistry, liners and equipment, with a roll-up strategy that mirrors the Sacpro/UVRelining combination — a relevant comparable for PE-backed expansion.
