The European and international PVC pipe production chain, from resin and additive manufacture to the final product, involves many hundreds of companies from the large multinational groups, who produce the raw materials and manufacture the piping systems, to small and medium sized enterprises, who take care of distribution and installation.
The different parts of the PVC pipe value chain are represented by a range of European and national trade associations.
