What Repiper Ab does

Repiper AB is a Swedish privately-held company founded in 2009 that provides a complete trenchless pipe relining system for building sewer and drain rehabilitation. The core offering is a Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) method built on patented tools (PJS Tool for pipe joint reinforcement, Step Coupling, Relining Connection) combined with proprietary felt liners (S Liner, FlexMax, FlexMax 3D) and a two-part epoxy system. The company's certified four-step process creates a seamless, self-supporting pipe within the existing damaged pipe without excavation, enabling relining of bends, angles, and previously inaccessible joints. The system is protected by Swedish Patent SE 534965 and US Patents 9,657,883 and 10,436,375, holds RISE certification (Certificate C900569) with a certified 40-year service life, and is sold under the "Step-by-Step" method brand. Supporting services include the Repiper Academy training program, on-site consultation, an Epoxy Calculator planning tool, and bundled Start Packages for new installers.

The business operates a channel-driven go-to-market model. Repiper monetizes through patented hardware sales (tools, couplings, accessories), recurring consumables (liners, epoxy), and professional services (training/certification, technical support). Distribution is executed through System Resellers with time-limited geographic exclusivity (e.g., Fluxus in Sweden, Fluvius in Germany), Retail Resellers, direct e-commerce on repiper.com, and a certified R&D Contractor / Development Partner program. Pricing is quote-based in local currency (USD in the US, SEK in Sweden) with 30-day payment terms and semi-annual price reviews. Customer segments are Installers/Relining Contractors (primary), System Resellers (primary), Retail Resellers, End Customers/Property Owners, and R&D Contractors.

Repiper AB is the Swedish parent of two wholly-owned sales subsidiaries: Repiper Solutions AB (European sales, established 2016) and Repiper US Inc. (US sales, established 2018 in Springfield, Vermont). The company operates localized websites for Sweden, US, UK, France, India, and Australia and employs 1-10 people. The technology originated from Swedish inventors who began developing relining tools in 1980, with the IP acquired from Swedish Pipe Analysis in 2009; the company has since expanded organically across six markets with no disclosed external funding.

Products and services

• PJS Tool (Pipe Joint Systems) Custom-designed patented tool for installing pipe joint reinforcements and relining pipes in bends or angles. The flexibility and bendability of the tool enable lining installations throughout the entire plumbing system, including pipes followed by bends — joints that were previously inaccessible for installers.
• Step Coupling Secure solution that connects horizontal relined and unlined pipes, creating watertight connections without seams or gaps to prevent leakage risk associated with traditional connectors.
• Relining Connection Secure solution to connect vertical relined and unlined pipes, creating a watertight transition between pipes when used with jet connectors and sealant.
• Repiper Liners (S Liner, FlexMax, FlexMax 3D) High-quality felt liners that curve, stretch, and accommodate small-diameter pipe restoration for straight lines, bends, and lines that change in diameter. Product line includes S Liner (5mm non-transitional for small-diameter pipe restoration), FlexMax (4.5mm transitional), and FlexMax 3D (3.3mm thinnest liner for the smallest pipe systems). Easily saturated with epoxy resins.
• Repiper Two-Part Epoxy High-quality two-part epoxy system for saturating felt liners in CIPP relining projects. Recurring sale tied to installation projects.
• Start Package Complete package containing everything needed to get started with relining, tailored for new installers and growing businesses.
• Repiper Academy Training program providing hands-on education in the Repiper method, from planning to inspection, with expert support and certification. Includes on-site training, access to educational videos, and a partner portal for certified partners.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Aegion Corporation (Insituform): One of the largest CIPP and trenchless rehabilitation contractors and technology providers globally. Competes broadly with Repiper in pipe renewal technology and methods, with deeper capital and customer relationships.
• IMPREG Group: Larger CIPP liner and equipment supplier serving municipal and industrial pipeline rehabilitation globally. Broader portfolio and scale than Repiper, but overlapping technology for cured-in-place pipe renewal.

Others

• Applied Felts: Manufacturer of felt liners used in CIPP rehabilitation projects. Functions as a potential supplier/adjacent player to Repiper rather than a direct head-to-head competitor, but its products overlap with Repiper's S Liner / FlexMax line.

Emerging players

• Saertex Multicom: Supplies glass-fiber reinforced CIPP liners and consumables for trenchless pipe rehabilitation. Comparable in the consumables/liner segment, with growing overlap as it extends into smaller-diameter relining.

Direct peers

• Perma-Liner Industries: Manufactures and distributes CIPP relining systems, liners, and epoxy consumables to plumbing and drain contractors. Direct overlap with Repiper's trenchless rehabilitation offering and installer/reseller channel.
• Reline Europe: Manufacturer of UV-cured CIPP liners and equipment for pipe rehabilitation. Comparable product/technology stack and a similar European/regional channel partner distribution approach.
• HammerHead Trenchless Equipment: Designs and sells trenchless equipment and consumables for CIPP and pipe rehabilitation. Comparable to Repiper in providing a packaged tooling + method system to certified contractors serving sewer and drain renewal projects.
• NuFlow Technologies: Provides CIPP and trenchless pipe rehabilitation solutions to a licensee/installer network across North America. Similar franchise/reseller-led model serving drain and sewer renewal in buildings.
• Picote Solutions: Sells proprietary tooling, liners, and resins for trenchless CIPP and pipe coating, with a strong focus on small-diameter and building-internal drain rehabilitation. Closely mirrors Repiper's contractor-channel GTM and product mix.
• Brawoliner: German-based supplier of CIPP liners, resin, and tooling for trenchless pipe rehabilitation, including building-internal applications. Comparable European footprint and method-based product philosophy.
