ABOUT KONTI HIDROPLAST

Konti Hidroplast has started its manufacturing production in 1990 with one single production line of polyethylene pipes, with a total number of 10 employees.

By 1994, the production program expanded with an additional 5 production lines. In addition to polyethylene hoses and LDPE pipes, Konti Hidroplast began to expand its production program with new types of products and the development of a wider range of dimensions.
With the development of new classes of polyethylene (PE), the use of PE pipes for household installations and pressure systems also expanded. With the use of second-generation polyethylene, such as PE63 and PE80, we started producing pipes for domestic installations with a pressure capacity of up to 16 bars. The range of dimensions increased with pipes up to F110mm.

In 1996 were manufactured the first pipes of a third generation polyethylene material, specifically PE 100.
This allowed the pipes to be used in installations with a working pressure of 32 bars.

That year, we also began producing gas transportation pipes for use in installations with a working pressure of 10 bars, as well as pipes that can be used in various other industries.

We increased the range of dimensions once again, with the largest dimension now being F160mm.

In 1998 the dimensional range is increased once again. Now, the largest dimension being F250mm. That year, Konti Hidroplast obtained the ISO 9001 certificate for its management quality system.

In 1999-2000 Konti Hidroplast began expanding its representations with opening its first offices abroad in Serbia and Bulgaria. But, the expanding did not stop there, today Konti Hidroplast has office representations in all of the Balkan countries.

In 2001 Konti Hidroplast achieved the greatest expantion of its production capacities to that date with the acquisition of two complete extrusion lines.

The first extrusion line expanded the range of pipes for domestic installations, producing pipes up to F400mm, while the second extrusion line was intended for the production of double-layer polyethylene pipes for sewage with dimensions up to F315mm.
That year, in addition to the ISO 9001 certification, we also received the ISO 14001 certification for the environmental management system.

In 2002, the company expanded its capacities and product range with an additional production line for household installations, as well as sewage pipes with dimensions up to F630mm.

In 2003 were opened new company representations in Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia.

In 2004 began the production of a new product, the spiral sewage pipes with a diameter up to F1200mm.

In 2006 was installed a new production line for ribbed double-layer pipes with a diameter of up to F1200mm

In 2008, we increased the production capacity of ribbed pipes with an additional production line, as well as a line for pressure pipes.

In 2009, Konti Hidroplast expanded its production lines and product range with a new product, the PP HM pipes.

Two new injection molding machines for the production of sewer fittings and a new production line for spiral pipes in the dimensional range of 1300-2000 mm.
