Wavin Czechia, an Orbia business

What Wavin Czechia, an Orbia business does

Wavin Czechia s.r.o. is the Czech-and-Slovak operating entity of Wavin, Orbia's Building & Infrastructure business unit. The company manufactures and distributes plastic piping systems — including PP-RCT welded systems (Ekoplastik), PE pressure systems, PVC/PP gravity sewer systems, indoor sewage, rainwater management and infiltration products, and radiant heating/cooling systems (Comfia with Sentio zone control) — to four primary customer groups: installers and plumbing contractors, municipalities and public infrastructure investors, architects and MEP engineers, and wholesale distributors. Its proprietary portfolio also includes engineered water-treatment offerings such as Certaro Lamella HDS and the PolderRoof blue-green infrastructure solution.

Its business model is built on unit-priced product sales distributed through a hybrid go-to-market: regional field sales managers covering defined Czech territories (with named product managers for specialty categories), an in-country inside-sales team, a registered-account B2B e-commerce portal (online-shop-cz.wavin.com), and a wholesale/trade merchant layer. Specification influence is generated upstream through a free suite of design software (TechCON 10 for MEP, ESPACE for sewage manholes and infiltration, AutoPEN for utility network pipelines, and Pipe Statics for structural assessment) that embeds Wavin component libraries into engineer and architect workflows. Marketing blends content (Czech-localized blog, webinars, Wavin Academy), email, social channels, trade shows, and the Wavin for Schools educational programme.

The entity sits within Orbia's global platform — 40+ production sites, 10,000+ employees, 80+ countries, EcoVadis Silver, CDP Climate B and Water B ratings, and a Microsoft water-replenishment partnership — supplying scale, ESG positioning for municipal tenders, and ongoing product launch support, including the 2025 Certaro Lamella HDS introduction.
