WIENERBERGER ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF MFP SALES LTD


wienerberger UK & Ireland proudly announces the acquisition of MFP Sales Ltd, a producer of quality piping solutions for construction markets in Ireland and the UK.

MFP Sales Ltd, established in 1967 and previously owned by Grafton Group plc, specialises in the manufacture of high-quality drainage, roofline, and cable ducting systems. With production facilities in Dublin and distribution in Belfast, MFP has built a reputable presence in the construction industry, public utilities, and local authorities.

Pipelife Ireland, wienerberger’s subsidiary, will integrate MFP’s operations, enhancing synergies in piping and drainage solutions. Building on the acquisition of Cork Plastics in 2021, which immediately enhanced its product portfolio to include rainwater, roofline and drainage products, this acquisition supports wienerberger’s commitment to the Irish market, underpinned by a €35 million investment in the region.

This acquisition supports wienerberger’s strategy to meet customer needs with a full range of building envelope products and services. It marks a key step in expanding their product offerings in the region across wall, roof, heating, and water management categories, complemented by technical services and customer support.

Conor Manning, Managing Director at Pipelife Ireland, stated, “Pipelife is at a pivotal point. After 55 years in the business, acquiring MFP Sales is a major milestone that expands our product range and strengthens our market position. Our focus is on smooth integration to ensure we capture full benefits while maintaining service and quality. As we integrate MFP, expand our portfolio, and lead in sustainability and innovation, I’m confident in Pipelife’s bright future as part of the wider wienerberger family.”

In recent years, wienerberger has expanded its portfolio beyond its brick and roof tile offering by acquiring Building Product Design in 2019 for ventilation and insulation systems, FloPlast and Cork Plastics in 2021 for roofline, rainwater, and drainage solutions, and Maincor, an underfloor heating specialist, in 2024.
