Agru America opens pipe production facility in Charleston, S.C.

Agru America’s newest manufacturing center in Charleston, S.C., aimed at meeting the international demand for next-generation large diameter HDPE pipes, started production in early April 2017. The facility, located on Charleston Harbor, is producing AGRULINE pipes with dimensions of up to OD 2500 mm (98.4 in.) designed for high-volume flow applications including gas, potable water, and wastewater.

Agru produces the large-diameter piping systems from PE100, PE100-RC, or PE4710 resins allowing for better long-term hydraulic properties, which save operation costs and provide high resistance to corrosion, wear and tear, and UV radiation.
