Pipe production

LK is a technology manufacturer of PE-Xa, PE-RT and corrugated PP pipes, which are suitable for under-floor heating, radiator heating and tap water systems, along with Flex pipes, which is used in braided hoses. The pipes are sold to the heating and plumbing industry in Europe, the USA, Asia and the Middle East. 

Since its inception in 2000, LK has continuously expanded and in 2019, we produced and delivered more than 60 million meters of pipes to the heating, ventilation and sanitation industries in Europe, the USA, Asia and the Middle East.

Pipe production is one of the six business units of the LK Group which can trace its heritage back in 1910.

Production

Process

Quality and environment

We believe that the pursuit of quality and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. We constantly strive to reduce the environmental impact of our products and solutions in order to contribute to a smarter and environmentally cleaner world.

To ensure high-quality and environmentally friendly production, we are certified to ISO standards.

Manufacturing premises

Waste heat becomes green energy 

When we made the decision to build an entirely new factory, it was also important to ensure that this project would be undertaken in the right sustainable way. It was very clear to us that the new premises and production had to be efficient economically, environmentally and in terms of energy usage.

All sources of heat is exchanged to the local community central heating system and the energy is recovered. There is a closed cooling water system that dramatically reduce water consumption and all the lights in the factory is based on Led-technology reducing electric consumption.

We are very proud to be able to delivery pipes that are not only of a high quality, but produced in an environmentally conscious way. 

In fact, we are the most energy efficient PEX producer in the world.

How it all began

The LK Group began producing and selling pipes in Ulricehamn in 2000. The primary task off the business unit, at that time, was to supply the other business units of the LK Group, with high quality PE-Xa pipes, to be used in floor heating and tap-water systems.

However, an increasing export market demand for high quality pipes, made LK develop its strategy and expand the sales, so they became worldwide - a profitable decision.

Those initial premises were soon outgrown, and in 2012 the Group made the decision to invest in entirely new manufacturing premises. The project to build the new factory was begun and the new premises of 12 000 kvm was inaugurated in August 2014, and expanded to 20 000 kvm in 2017.
