About Gerodur
Gerodur MPM Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH & Co. KG is a manufacturer of plastic piping systems based in Neustadt in Sachsen and belongs to the Swiss HakaGerodur AG. Its core competence lies in plastics extrusion: the company produces pipes and hoses, protective casing pipes for trenchless installation, permeation-proof drinking water pipes, cable protection pipes (EMDS), factory-welded geothermal probes (GEROtherm) and plastic-metal composite pipes for heating and sanitary applications. It also manufactures custom technical plastic profiles from polyolefins, engineering and high-performance plastics as well as WPC, including multi-component extrusion, in-line processing and coating. Services include assembly/confectioning, prototype production using FDM 3D printing, pipe statics and hydraulics calculations, OEM products and recycling via PreZero. The products serve utilities, waste disposal, industry, environmental technology and geothermal energy with service lives of over 100 years.
