Welcome to CPV Ltd. It’s hard to believe that the best part of seven decades has passed since our company was founded by my father back in 1948. It was the year that saw London host the Olympic Games for the second me, the first Bri sh aeroplane broke the sound barrier and, the equally celebrated and derided organisa on, Bri sh Railways was created.

The world has changed immeasurably in the years that have ensued and the Chemical Pipe and Vessel Company, as it was known back in the early days, has itself experienced its fair share of change. However, some things have remained the same, namely, our guiding principles and the ethos that have helped CPV to become a world-class manufacturer of engineering pipework solu ons for a wide array of applica ons, including corrosionresistant pipe solu ons and pre-insulated pipe systems for district hea ng applica ons.

Innova on CPV was pioneer in the development of thermoplas c pipe systems and, to this day, we are s ll commi ed to driving forward innova on in products, services and manufacturing techniques. This not only improves the way in which our products perform, but it o en lowers our clients’ capital and opera onal expenditure. A friendly, family-run concern Although we have steadily grown over the years to become an interna onal group of companies, we have made a determined effort to retain our closely-held values as

a friendly, family-run business. This filters through every aspect of the CPV Group, to the mutual benefit of our clients, employees, suppliers and associates. The markets in which we operate remain dynamic and, as environmental concerns grow ever-stronger, the demand for our state-of-the-art pipe systems con nues to increase.
Thank you for taking the me to read this introduc on, the remainder of this brochure will provide you with a brief overview of our company and just how it can assist you with your projects and applica ons. Bev Boag Chairman, CPV Group

The Environment At CPV, we strive to minimise our organisa on’s impact on the natural environment. All of our waste materials are reprocessed and reused as second-grade raw materials in the manufacture of plas c products. In addi on to this, we have been carefully managing the 85-acre site that accommodates our produc on facility and headquarters - having recently planted 20 acres of mixed woodland to encourage wildlife. It is also our aim to generate our on-site energy requirements from sustainable sources in the coming years - further reducing our carbon emissions.
