“As announced earlier this year, production will move to the UK in 2025. The current distribution and logistics structures in Balbriggan will be retained during the transition to ensure there is no impact on our customers. You’ll see the same faces in our business – the same sales team and the same customer service team who are there to ensure continuity of service and availability of product”.

Continued investment in Ireland
“As part of Wavin’s commitment to the Irish market, plans are in place for a new state of the art Distribution Centre in Ireland which will see a streamlined service for our customers throughout the country. We also look forward to launching a new Training Academy which will allow us to showcase and demonstrate our award-winning product range, host CPDs and continue to provide the technical expertise for which our team are renowned”.

The Wavin Merchant Online Shop will soon be upgraded for ease of use for customers. Open 24/7, it allows merchants to order whenever is convenient for them.

Technical Expertise
“The team at Wavin Ireland is well known for their technical expertise. Likewise, our connected systems across soil & waste and plumbing solutions allow specifiers and installers to build projects with confidence. We have a range of BIM Revit solutions which will unlock time and cost savings and deliver efficiencies at every stage of a project.

Our expert technical team are available to provide advice and guidance to customers with experience across building services engineering, plumbing, civil engineering and more. This in house expertise has proven invaluable for customers and we are proud to continue providing this service”.

New products on stream
“As the need to become smarter in terms of how we catch and collect the vast amounts of valuable rain and stormwater created each year, particularly in Ireland’s urban environments, Wavin’s attenuation and infiltration products have long offered innovative solutions to planners and engineers.

The introduction of Wavin
AquaCell Next Generation (NG) in 2025, manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic, allows for even faster installation leading to greater cost savings, easier logistics on site and reduced manual handling. AquaCell NG is the future of sustainable drainage”.

Supporting the community
“Wavin Ireland continues to support the communities in which we operate. Whether supporting local initiatives like our team member’s charities, providing product and expertise to community projects or indeed contributing to Ireland’s biodiversity and nature-led experiences with the continued support of the Guaranteed Irish Forest, we remain committed to being as much a part of Ireland as we have been since our beginnings.”
