Our Story
Pipe King is part of the larger Australian Plastic Profiles (APP) family.
We are experts in PVC extrusion and injection moulding, committed to helping our clients – from design, development, production and fabrication to marketing, delivery, service and support.
Our story started from humble beginnings 50 years ago as a small Australian family business. While our scale and capabilities have grown in that time, our focus on customer commitment and quality guarantee has never changed.
Our Capabilities
Backed by industry-leading stock holdings, our growing range of quality products are now used in a broad cross-section of markets and industries. These include waste, stormwater, pressure, general plumbing, civil, irrigation, electrical, telecommunications and infrastructure.
While we specialise in helping merchants service the day-to-day requirements of plumbers and specialty providers (through our network of branches located in all mainland capitals as well as Newcastle and Canberra), our extensive logistical and production capabilities means that we continue to be involved in a growing number of projects for Government and Public Utilities.
We also work with both local and overseas customers on export projects, with a growing presence in the Pacific rim.
Our Values
Whilst exceeding customer’s expectations around service is at the heart of what we do, we pride ourselves on our culture of innovation, quality and safety.
We also remain mindful of our broader role in the communities we serve. Our commitment to the principles of environmental sustainability is demonstrated by our pledging of support to industry initiatives such as “Operation Clean Sweep” as well as membership of the Vinyl Council’s PVC Stewardship Program.
PVC Products manufactured by Pipe King comply with the Green Building Council of Australia’s “Best Practice Guidelines for PVC in the Built Environment”.
Pipe King manufactured PVC Pipes and Fittings are 100% recyclable.
Recycling plays an important role in reducing the industry’s carbon footprint as the recycling process uses only a fraction of the energy required to produce a similar amount of virgin PVC.
Pipe King utilises scrap from our own pipe and fittings manufacture by incorporating back into the production process for new product (where Australian Standards permit).
We are also proud to offer an Industry Recycling Program – recycling waste PVC product, unwanted and excess PVC pipe and fittings from building sites and other project locations.
Some limitations do apply on product that is able to be taken back and recycled however we welcome all enquiries for this service to industry and the final consumer of this product.
Please email reuse@pipeking.com.au for further details on recycling or safe disposal.
