Wienerberger said that the purchase of MFP Sales, a Dublin-based manufacturer of plastic drainage, roofline and cable ducting systems, helped to fill out its range of building envelope products and services.
It described the deal as “a key step” in expanding its product offerings in the UK and Ireland across wall, roofing, heating and water management categories, building on its acquisition of Cork Plastics in 2021.
MFP Sales was established in 1967 and previously owned by Grafton Group. It will now be integrated into Wienerberger’s Pipelife Ireland subsidiary.
At the same times as shedding MFP, Grafton has also completed its €31.6m acquisition of HSS Hire Ireland, a deal agreed at the beginning of April. [See previous report here.]
Conor Manning, managing director at Pipelife Ireland, said: “Pipelife is at a pivotal point. After 55 years in the business, acquiring MFP Sales is a major milestone that expands our product range and strengthens our market position. Our focus is on smooth integration to ensure we capture full benefits while maintaining service and quality. As we integrate MFP, expand our portfolio, and lead in sustainability and innovation, I’m confident in Pipelife’s bright future as part of the wider Wienerberger family.”
In recent years Wienerberger has expanded its portfolio beyond its brick and roof tile roots by acquiring Building Product Design in 2019 for ventilation and insulation systems, FloPlast and Cork Plastics in 2021 for roofline, rainwater, and drainage solutions, and Maincor, an underfloor heating specialist, in 2024.
