Centriforce Products

What Centriforce Products does

Centriforce Products Limited is a Liverpool-based, privately held manufacturer founded in 1976 that produces damage prevention products from 100% recycled HDPE and LDPE plastics. The company operates five branded product lines — Stokbord® (sheets, utility protection tiles, road shield, floor shield, and roll/drum format), Duraplas® (profiles, boardwalks, and rigi board as timber alternatives), Tapetile® (cable protection rolls), Locata® (detectable warning tapes, mesh, marker posts, and signage), and Protrack™ (ground protection mats) — serving utilities and civils, building and landscaping, agriculture and equestrian, and fabrication sectors across 46 countries.

The underlying technology is recycled plastic extrusion and reprocessing, converting post-consumer HDPE and LDPE into continuous sheets, profiles, and mesh that are cut to size. Capacity stands at approximately 20,000 tonnes per year at the Liverpool facility, which has been progressively expanded in 2000, 2008, 2019, and most significantly in 2023. Products comply with rigorous UK and international specifications including ENA-TS 12-23, National Grid TS 3.05.07, EN12613, and BS 50520:2020, creating specification-driven demand among Distribution Network Operators, transmission operators, and utility contractors.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of manufactured goods via two channels: a direct sales model in which account managers handle large enterprise orders and a sales admin team handles smaller accounts, and a channel partner model leveraging a network of distributors across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and increasingly the US. Pricing is quote-based and customised to project requirements. Named enterprise customers include National Grid, EDP, EirGrid, Dogger Bank Wind Farm, BT, Tesco, Waitrose, and Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, and the company is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified.
