NIBCO Expands its PEX Operations

NIBCO has announced the opening of its new 80,000- square-foot facility in Franklin, Ohio. This facility will absorb the PEX pipe post-processing functions and East coast distribution of PEX pipe that was previously done at its Lebanon, Ohio facility.

NIBCO’s Lebanon facility will continue operations focusing on pipe extrusion and cross-linking. After the pipe is manufactured in Lebanon, it will be transported to the Franklin facility for post-processing and distribution.

In May 2006, NIBCO announced that it acquired the assets of Consolidated Plumbing Industries (CPI), a manufacturer of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing. The acquisition was a strategic move in expanding

NIBCO’s presence in the PEX water distribution and radiant heating markets. NIBCO INC. is a worldwide provider of flow control solutions to customers in the residential and commercial construction, industrial and irrigation markets.
