Naylor Specialist Plastics formerly Rateoval Ltd - Company Profile

Leading UK pipe manufacturer Naylor - a Yorkshire based family business, which has been manfacturing pipes since 1890 - has acquired the plastic pipe and tube business of Tipton based Rateoval Limited.

The business, renamed Naylor Specialist Plastics, becomes a division of Naylor Drainage Ltd.  Manufacturing will continue  in the West Midlands and  investment is already underway to meet the anticipated demands of a growing market.

Naylor Specialist Plastics specialises in manfacturing tubing from 2mm to 200mm and the company's particular strength is its flexibility: the business is able to manufacture bespoke pipes and tubes for an infinite range of applications. Naylor's origins are in clay drainage, although recent years have seen the company develop a significant polyethylene (HDPE) land drain and ducting business. The acquisition brings Naylor capabilities in additional materials such as PVC, ABS and LDPE.
 

We manufacture extruded pipes/tubes in many shapes and profiles in all colours from 10mm to 200mm using HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, Polypropylene, PVC, EVA and HIPS etc.

Lengths can be handled up to 12m and coil lengths as required.  We supply the building/civil industries with pipes for ducting, drainage, waste (push fit and solvent weld), dewatering, pumping, grouting and irrigation applications.

In addition, we also supply the electrical industry with 16-32mm diameter HPE or PP single walled flexible corrugated cable conduit, these can be supplied in small coils or on drums with 1500mm or more per reel.

We also offer a variety of industries with bespoke tubes.  Our wide selection of tooling, versatility and expertise allows us to make specially designed tubes used for cores, packaging, carrying, insultation, hinge pins, aspiration, spacers, traffic management systems and show jumping poles, all to customers' exact requirements.

Our secondary operation capability offers vast flexibility for cutting, drilling, slotting, routing, slitting and threading tubes to the required specification.  We are continually being asked to develop and trial new products for our customers; our capabilities and tooling ranges are therefore growing constantly.
