D eserving winner, Pipelife Ireland Ltd claimed the title of Manufacturer of the Year, impressing judges as the company which made the most impressive success within the last two years. Pipelife Ireland Ltd is part of the Pipelife Group, which is one of Europe’s leading producers of plastic pipe systems. The group employs almost 3,000 people in 29 manufacturing facilities in 28 countries, including 60 employees in their Irish plant based in Cork. Drawing from half a century of manufacturing experience from its production plant in Cork, Pipelife has been at the forefront in developing innovative products. As heating solutions become more complex, the firm continues to invest in new expertise and technology to help it stay ahead of the game. The recent acquisition of Cork Plastics in Little Island, Cork has resulted in Pipelife Ireland now becoming Ireland’s No.1 manufacturer as a full-range system provider and enhances its portfolio of building and piping solutions. Judges were enthused by the company’s application, which included supporting evidence entailing their 2021 Trade Brochure, Eco-Home Heating Solutions and Engineers Brochure. Congratulations to all the team at Pipelife Ireland for their impressive win.
I t was with great pleasure that we crowned Heat Merchants as Overall Merchant winner in this year’s Plumbing and Heating awards. The company is Ireland’s leading supplier of plumbing, heating, and renewable energy solutions to trade professionals. Since 2012, the company has continually increased sales each year, grown at a higher rate than the construction industry and at the same time, increased market share and profitability. The judging panel was impressed by the praise received for Heat Merchants regarding its technical and aftersales teams, who provide invaluable knowledge and support. With 31 branches nationwide, the business is in an ideal position to provide quick and convenient service in any location, ensuring its clients get what they need, when and where they need it. The panel of judges was pleased by the glowing testimonials, one of which stated how the company provides access to a broad range of stock and can organise special orders for any non-stocked items quickly. “The service has always been reliable, and deliveries can be depended on to be on time and complete,” it read. Congratulations to all the team at Heat Merchants.
