Azuria Plans to Establish Fusible PVC Manufacturing Facility in Mississippi

Azuria Water Solutions plans to establish in-house production of its Fusible PVC pipe (FPVC) at a new facility in Batesville, Mississippi. The facility is near its current cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) manufacturing operations.

This strategic expansion advances Azuria’s vision of vertically integrating the delivery of innovative solutions to the water, wastewater and stormwater markets.

FPVC is the core product of Azuria’s Underground Solutions (UGS) business. The proprietary product combines industry-leading PVC pipe with thermal, butt-fusion joining technology. Consequently, it creates a gasket-less, leak-free, fully restrained pipe system. Moreover, this system has a life expectancy greater than 100 years. With a successful history in pressurized water and water and wastewater applications, FPVC can be installed through open cut or trenchless methods.

The construction timeline for the new facility is still in the works. Azuria expects initial production to focus on large diameter pipe. In addition to manufacturing, the plant will have the capacity and transportation logistics to service the North American market.

“Building an FPVC production facility will allow us to continue to address increasing demand for large diameter FPVC,” says Rob Tullman, president and CEO, Azuria. “We are grateful for the support from our current production partners and look forward to continuing those relationships.”

Azuria’s current CIPP facility hasoperated in Batesville since 1988. Today it employs approximately 100 people. Azuria expects the new FPVC manufacturing facility will create additional high-quality jobs. It will strengthen Azuria’s commitment to quality manufacturing – supporting the expectations of customers, local partners, and funding stakeholders.
