Wolseley strengthens its UK offering after adding Cascade Pipelines to the group Last year Wolseley, a key distributor in the utilities market, welcomed Cascade Pipelines, a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialist pipe fittings and services to the water sector, to its group. This acquisition has since enabled Cascade Pipelines to draw on Wolseley’s nationwide distribution network, and offer its solutions at a number of branches across the UK. Cascade Pipelines’ range of specialist water products provide innovative solutions for joining, or repairing pipe, hot tapping and water flow control. Customer satisfaction remains at the forefront of this new partnership, and Wolseley branch colleagues have had training on Cascade Pipelines products. The recently launched Cascade ProDrill is a solution to help make connections in a water or gas supply network. The ProDrill is able to drill through a range of wall thickness and comes as a complete kit, with cutters, connectors and extension rods for added reach. John Hancock, managing director of Wolseley Infrastructure, said: “We are delighted to welcome Cascade Pipeline Corporation to Wolseley. “Our Fusion Utilities brand is built on industry-leading expertise and great customer service, attributes that are only enhanced with the Cascade team and their innovative range of products.

“We look forward to providing customers of both businesses our newly enhanced product and service proposition.” Andrew Munro, director of Cascade Pipeline corporation, added: “Over the years Cascade has established itself as a reliable brand in the UK water industry servicing frameworks with major water authorities and supplying an extensive range of products to clients throughout the country.” “Cascade has been approached on many occasions by parties interested in joining forces; however, none of these suitors had the infrastructure, product range or reach that Wolseley has.” Wolseley www.corporate.wolseley.co.uk
