CORPORATE · UPONOR

From where PEX pipe was born to Istanbul, on the same path.

Since 1989 we have been the authorised partner in Türkiye, first of Wirsbo and today of Uponor. It is a road that runs from Virsbo in Sweden, where PEX pipe was first produced, to construction sites in Istanbul.

Why PEX-a?

The material itself is engineering.

At the heart of Uponor pipes is cross-linking technology, which binds the molecules of polyethylene to one another.

  • 01

    Cross-linked structure

    In PEX-a production, polyethylene chains bond together like a net; the pipe becomes resistant to heat, pressure and wear.

  • 02

    Shape memory

    An expanded pipe returns to its original diameter. In a Q&E connection, the pipe settles tightly onto the fitting by itself.

  • 03

    Documented compliance

    ISO 15875, health and CE certificates and technical data are on our Certificates page.
