R EHAU, a leading polymer specialist with more than 20,000 employees worldwide, has been well-established in Ireland and Northern Ireland for 21 years. Now it is time to take the brand to new heights with the appointment of Mark Thompson, the new Area Sales Manager for REHAU Building Solutions NI and ROI. Mark joined the company in June this year and brings over 20 years of sales experience, having worked for other reputable local distribution companies in the construction industry. He became more involved in the plumbing sector in his previous role, at a company that did mechanical distribution for Northern Ireland. Mark couldn’t be happier to be part of the team at REHAU. “I am over the moon,” he expressed. “People call me unusual because I say how much I love my job. But I couldn’t picture myself doing anything else.” For Mark, this new position is a step up in his career, as he had always worked for local companies and wanted to join a world-leading manufacturer.

Amongst the extensive product line, Mark highlights RAUTITAN, a leading plumbing and heating system that is well-suited for communal heating in multi-occupancy properties, as well as products fit for underfloor heating and water management systems. Other best-selling solutions for the area include the RAUTHERMEX pipe range, used in medium-to-large district heating installations, and the RAUVITHERM pipework, for small-to-medium scale systems. It is also the only PE-Xa district heating pipe made in the UK. Mark lives in Lurgan and, outside work, he enjoys riding his bike along the great local network of cycle paths. While trying to balance work and family time, Mark also likes to swim and play squash.

REHAU knows how to anticipate all the issues that may arise,” he comments. “We are one of the leading companies in the industry, and having both our level of knowledge and customer support can help us stay there.” In Ireland and Northern Ireland, REHAU is specialised in district heating and pre-insulated pipe, heating and cooling
