Plastigama Wavin

What Plastigama Wavin does

Plastigama Wavin is an Ecuadorian manufacturer and distributor of PVC pipe systems and plastic fittings, founded in 1958 and headquartered in Durán, Guayas. The company operates as the Ecuadorian subsidiary of Orbia, a global diversified conglomerate, and uses the dual Plastigama–Wavin brand identity aligned with Orbia's international product portfolio. It serves three primary market segments: Edificación (Building), Infraestructura (Infrastructure), and Agrícola (Agricultural), supplying drainage, water, sanitation, stormwater, and irrigation solutions to construction firms, infrastructure developers, agricultural operators, and end consumers through a network of plumber stores, retail outlets, and direct enterprise sales.

Its core product set includes the Sanitaria Premium sanitary line, QuickStream siphonic roof drainage, AquaCell 400 modular stormwater management, and Novafort drainage pipes, complemented by digital tools such as Revit-compatible BIM libraries and a pipe calculator for engineers. The business model is hardware sales of physical PVC products through distributors and retail, with direct sales used for larger infrastructure and commercial projects. In 1985, Plastigama Wavin became the first company in Ecuador's plastic pipe and fittings sector to receive the INEN quality seal, a credential it continues to emphasize. The company has publicly committed to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and to leading the Ecuadorian construction industry in sustainability by 2025.

The company employs approximately 290 people and operates exclusively in the Ecuadorian domestic market. Its competitive positioning rests on 66+ years of brand presence, an established retail distribution network, INEN certification, and access to Orbia's global product engineering pipeline.
