FRÄNKISCHE

With a legacy dating back to 1906, FRÄNKISCHE has established itself as a global leader in the manufacture of high-quality pipework systems. Originating in Schweinfurt, Germany, the company has consistently pioneered innovations, including the world's first flexible metal electrical installation pipe in 1952 and its plastic counterpart in 1959. Expanding its expertise into drainage, FRÄNKISCHE introduced the first corrugated plastic drainage pipe, setting new industry standards.

Today, with operations in 19 countries and over a century of experience, FRÄNKISCHE offers a comprehensive range of solutions across multiple sectors, including heating, drinking water, electrical installations, and automotive applications. We are proud to supply the FRÄNKISCHE Alpex MLCP pipework systems, designed specifically for drinking water and heating installations, combining outstanding durability with reliable performance.

• Flexible Lengths & Coils: Supplied in extended lengths and flexible coils, allowing for longer pipe runs with fewer interruptions.
• Corrosion & Oxygen Diffusion Resistance: The composite structure prevents corrosion and blocks oxygen diffusion, ensuring long-term system integrity.
• Reduced Use of Fittings: Longer pipe runs minimise the need for joints and fittings, lowering the risk of potential leak points.
