Golan Plastic Products

What Golan Plastic Products does

Golan Plastic Products, operating commercially as Pexgol and legally as Golan Renewable Industries Ltd., is an Israel-based manufacturer of crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) piping systems. Founded in 1964 and headquartered at Kibbutz Shaar HaGolan, the company produces pipes in diameters from 63 mm to 710 mm across five pressure classes (Class 10 through Class 24), along with electrofusion couplers, flanges, and mechanical fittings. Its core technical differentiator is a PE-X crosslinking process that forms a three-dimensional molecular network, giving the pipes an operating temperature range of -50°C to 110°C, high chemical and abrasion resistance, and up to 12% lower fluid-transport energy loss compared to steel. The company also offers a BIM/CAD Library of Revit and CAD models to support engineering specification.

Golan sells through dedicated regional sales directors covering Central/North America, South America, Europe/CIS, Australia, India/UAE, and other geographies, complemented by a global distributor network and local installation partners such as Argpex. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with multi-year project contracts typical for the hardware sales model. Revenue derives from PE-X pipe sales and supporting fittings and accessories.

The company's primary customer segments are mining (slurry transport, dewatering, tailings) and oil & gas (formation water, hydrocarbon transport, nitrogen), with secondary exposure to industrial, infrastructure, and aquaculture applications. Named enterprise customers include YPF, Pluspetrol, Petroleos Sudamericanos, Regal Petroleum, Tata Power, Flowserve, TASA, Guaymas Protein, Profertil, and Teva Post, with case studies spanning Latin America, North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania. The company is publicly listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under ticker GLPL.

Core offering

Golan Plastic Products, through its Pexgol brand, develops, manufactures, and globally distributes crosslinked polyethylene (PE-X) pipe systems and supporting fittings for demanding industrial fluid-transport applications. The products span small (63–90mm), medium (110–180mm), and large (200–710mm) diameters across pressure classes 10 through 24, and are sold with engineering design support and a BIM/CAD library to enterprise mining, oil & gas, industrial, infrastructure, and aquaculture customers.

Product overview

Pexgol, a brand under Golan Renewable Industries (Golan Plastic Products), offers a comprehensive portfolio of PE-X (crosslinked polyethylene) piping solutions designed for rigorous industrial demands. The core product line consists of PE-X pipes available in small (63-90mm), medium (110-180mm), and large (200-710mm) diameter ranges, with pressure classes from 10 to 24. These pipes feature a unique crosslinked molecular structure providing exceptional chemical resistance, temperature tolerance (-50°C to 110°C), mechanical strength, and abrasion resistance. The product portfolio is complemented by a BIM/CAD Library service enabling digital design integration, along with specialized fittings and connectors including electrofusion couplers, flanges, and elbows. Applications span mining (slurry, dewatering, tailings), oil & gas (hydrocarbon transport, formation water, nitrogen), water infrastructure (potable water, thermal water, desalination), industrial (heating/cooling, chemical processing), and aquaculture (fish transport).
