Georg Fischer Piping Systems - Piping Systems

The Georg Fischer Piping Systems Group is one of four operative groups of the Georg Fischer Corporation. The group develops and manufactures components and systems in plastic or metal for transporting, controlling, measuring and regulating liquids and gases. These products are used for industrial applications, gas and water distribution, and domestic installations. An international logistics and sales organisation covers local market needs worldwide.

Georg Fischer is aware of the elementary importance of water and has adapted its philosophy and actions systematically towards this objective: The responsible application of modern technologies and consideration for needs of humans and the environment are reflected in our business philosophy.

PIPING SYSTEMS FOR THE COMPLETE WATER CYCLE

As leading manufacturer of piping systems, Georg Fischer has integrated solutions for any water application from water extraction and treatment to industrial processes and from drinking water supplies and distribution to purification processes in sewage treatment plant.

The wide variety of systems and components for all applications also includes tools and machines for pipe jointing techniques, products for measurement, control and regulation, and pipes, fittings, and valves in many different materials.

EXPERIENCE IN WATER EXTRACTION

The extraction of untreated water and its subsequent treatment and processing to drinking water of consistent quality is the start of the water cycle. Many installation engineers and technical departments of water supply companies have capitalised on the advantages of plastic piping systems for a long time. The modular construction of Georg Fischer systems allows for continuous adaptation of the treatment processes to utilise the latest technological advances and changes in statutory regulations.

PIONEERS OF IMPROVED WATER SUPPLIES

Georg Fischer's strength lies in its provision of consistent solutions using high quality products.

We produce forward-looking solutions together with our partners in the water supply industry. The latest generation of PE electrofusion products is called ELGEF Plus. This offers our customers a reliable and technologically advanced system. The single button operation of the fusion control units and the design of system components suitable for the building site enable ELGEF Plus to satisfy all requirements.

SYSTEM-ORIENTATED FOR WATER TREATMENT IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

Plastics are widely used today for industrial pipeline construction. Georg Fischer has over 40 years experience in this technology and is considered a pioneer.

Industry is not always the same. Georg Fischer supplies piping systems for many different applications and is able to supply equipment to customers with varying requirements. Our systems are used for agricultural irrigation, swimming pools, cooling systems, various water treatment plants and process piping systems in the chemicals industry. All systems are also optimised with respect to economy and safety for customers, in the metal refining and paint industries, in semiconductors and in pharmaceuticals and life science.

DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION TECHNOLOGY

We now experience continually changing environmental influences. This calls for the application of the latest materials and techniques in domestic installations.

Georg Fischer's comprehensive domestic installations programme includes plastic and metal systems for hot and cold water distribution from cellar to roof.
