Steinzeug-Keramo, a leading European manufacturer for wastewater infrastructure, has announced the launch of its high-quality KERA vitrified clay pipes and fittings into the UK market.
The company said this significant expansion follows increased demand for more sustainable drainage products as well as interest from buyers looking for greater choice within the vitrified clay pipe category.
To mark the UK launch, Steinzeug-Keramo will showcase its KERA range of vitrified clay pipes and fittings at Utility Week Live, 20-21 May at the NEC, Birmingham.
Tom Deckers, Managing Director of Steinzeug-Keramo NV, said:

Leon Woods, Country Manager UK at Steinzeug-Keramo added:
“We’re very excited to showcase our vitrified clay pipe solutions at Utility Week Live. As the industry continues to prioritise sustainability and efficiency, our vitrified clay pipes provide an ideal solution for forward-thinking industries.”
The company said its expansion into the UK will strengthen Steinzeug-Keramo’s position as a leading European provider of wastewater infrastructure products, while enabling it to bring its legacy of quality and innovation to new markets. It also said it underscores the company’s commitment to driving forward-thinking solutions to help meet the UK’s infrastructure needs in a sustainable and responsible way.
Visitors to Utility Week Live Stand J32, will have the opportunity to explore the company’s products firsthand and engage with experts to learn how these solutions can be integrated into new installations or sewer renovations. Steinzeug-Keramo´s vitrified clay pipes can be used for open trench, pipe jacking or sewer renovation and are available in diameters 100 – 800 mm.
Steinzeug-Keramo has been manufacturing vitrified clay pipes in Germany for 170 years.
The company said that being impervious to hydrogen sulphide found in sewer systems makes its products suitable for environments where aggressive substances are present. Their chemical resistance ensures an ultra-longer service life, making them suitable for a wide range of challenging applications. The oldest vitrified clay pipe from Steinzeug-Keramo that is still in service is 167 years and counting.
The company will be supporting UK specifiers and contractors with on-site consultancy service and full technical support.
