Over the years, the company expanded internationally and developed its activities into plastic piping with the acquisition of Nicoll in 1980, Marley UK in 1999, and Glynwed Pipe Systems UK (including IPEX, Friatec, GPS, Philmac) in 2001. In 2003, the plastics activities had become so important that the group decided to create a new company. Aliaxis was born.
