What RSM Lining Supplies does

RSM Lining Supplies Global Ltd is a UK-based, founder-owned supplier specialising in Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) trenchless rehabilitation technology for wastewater and pressure pipe networks. Founded in 2003 by Richard Davis and incorporated in 2007, the company has grown from a two-person operation to 55+ staff operating from a 45,000 sq ft headquarters in Doncaster, with a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary established in 2011. Its product range spans proprietary lining systems (Echo Liner, Fero Force, Magmaflex, Crystaliner, RSM Pipe Aid patch repair kits), compatible resins (including WRc CP308 and CP655 certified Warm Cure and Hot Cure Epoxies), curing equipment (Sewertronics UV LED systems, KrasoTherm hybrid steam/hot water units), inspection tools (Gecko Cam CCTV) and consumables, covering pipe diameters from 50mm to 2000mm and supporting all major curing methods (ambient, hot, steam, UV and UV LED).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct enterprise sales, a global distributor network of 15+ UK depots and 40+ international partners across 30+ countries, equipment hire and repair services, factory impregnation up to 2000mm, accredited CIPP training (EU Skills and WRc approved), and a mobile app with online shop launched in 2023. Revenue is generated across seven streams: CIPP materials sales, equipment sales and hire, training, impregnation services, technical consultancy, service and repair, and custom vehicle fit-out. Pricing is quote-based and project-driven. Customer segments are dominated by water utilities, tier-1 contractors and drainage engineers across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia, with 630+ customers and 9,000+ orders fulfilled in 2023.
