Norditube

What Norditube does

NordiTube Technologies SE is a privately held Belgian manufacturer specializing in trenchless pipe rehabilitation technologies, headquartered in Liège, Belgium, with a 30+ year operating history. The company designs, produces, and supplies CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) liners and complementary rehabilitation equipment for the renewal of municipal and industrial underground pipe networks across sewage, potable water, gas, and industrial applications. Its offering spans the full rehabilitation workflow — high-pressure cleaning, liner impregnation, inversion/pulling, curing, and quality monitoring — together with technical design, on-site supervision, training, and project assistance.

The core product portfolio is organized around three technology families: pressure pipe liners (NORDIFLOW as a fully structural independent system at ISO 11295 Class A/B, the seamless woven TUBETEX and TUBETEX GAS systems at Class C, and the unique resin-free NORDILINER PIPP system enabling 3 km single-pull installations); gravity pipe liners (the NORDIWALL family including standard, HT up to 140°C, FLEX, and FLEX LITE for small-diameter house connections, plus the established UNILINER); and the r.tec CLOSE-FIT fold-and-form PE-100 system at ISO 11295 Class A & B. Complementing the liners, NordiTube produces pipe rehabilitation equipment (jetting units up to 1550 bar, impregnation, inversion, heating units, robotics) and the Tracy telemetric system for digital pressure/temperature recording and tamper-proof documentation. Products carry DVGW certification for potable water and gas, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality/environmental certifications, and PQ VOB pre-qualification.

Commercially, NordiTube operates a sales-led, project-based model with three revenue streams: one-time sales of CIPP liner products, one-time sales of pipe rehabilitation equipment, and professional services for technical support, conceptual design, and on-site supervision. Pricing is quote-based on pipe diameter, length, application, and product selection, with multi-year framework-style engagements. Distribution is direct via regional sales managers across Central, Northern/Eastern, Western, and Southern Europe, supplemented by wholly-owned subsidiaries in Singapore (APAC HQ), the USA, and Australia, plus channel partners in Japan (RTI Japan) and China (5Elem Hi-Tech).

Core offering

NordiTube manufactures and sells CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) liner systems and pipe rehabilitation equipment for trenchless renovation of underground sewer, water, gas, and industrial pipe networks. Its portfolio covers pressure pipe solutions (NORDIFLOW, TUBETEX, TUBETEX GAS, NORDILINER, CLOSE-FIT) and gravity pipe solutions (NORDIWALL variants, UNILINER), complemented by installation equipment, resins, and technical services for municipal utilities and industrial customers worldwide.

Product overview

NordiTube Technologies is a worldwide leading provider of trenchless pipe rehabilitation technologies with over 30 years of experience in CIPP (Cured-In-Place-Pipe) liner production. The company's product portfolio centers on a comprehensive suite of rehabilitation solutions organized around three core technology categories: pressure pipe rehabilitation (NORDIFLOW, TUBETEX, TUBETEX GAS, NORDILINER), gravity pipe rehabilitation (NORDIWALL, NORDIWALL FLEX, NORDIWALL FLEX LITE, UNILINER), and close-fit lining (CLOSE-FIT/r.tec CLOSE-FIT). NORDIFLOW serves as the flagship independent pressure liner with Class A/B structural classification, while TUBETEX and TUBETEX GAS offer seamless textile solutions for Class C bonding-based rehabilitation. NORDILINER provides a unique resin-free alternative using PIPP technology. For gravity applications, NORDIWALL variants address standard, high-temperature (HT), and flexible (FLEX) requirements, with FLEX LITE serving small-dimension house connections. The portfolio is complemented by equipment for installation (cleaning, CIPP, inversion, heating, close-fit installation, rehabilitation robots) and the Tracy telemetric system for process monitoring.
