About Us

A past and present firmly focused on the future. 

Genuit Group (formerly Polypipe), was founded in 1980 as a manufacturer of extruded and moulded plastics. We’ve come a long way since then, broadening our product and market offering through acquisitions and geographic expansion. In 2014, we were listed on the London Stock Exchange. Since then, we’ve been focused on building our position as a leading water management and climate management group.

In 2022 we reorganised into three main Business Units; Climate Management Solutions. Water Management Solutions and Sustainable Building Solutions.

  • Climate Management Solutions: Low carbon heating, cooling and ventilation.
  • Water Management Solutions: Drainage systems, flood water management and the creation of green urban spaces.
  • Sustainable Building Solutions: Market leading residential and commercial drainage and hot/cold water systems. Also converting legacy steel and copper components to modern plastics. 

It offers more because it means more

There’s more to joining our Early Careers Programme than simply working for one of the UK’s most progressive manufacturing companies. You’ll be helping to create a more sustainable built environment by increasing its resilience to the challenges of climate change and helping to reduce the impact the construction industry has on the natural world. It’s a vital role, helping us to protect waterways, create green urban spaces and find more energy efficient ways to clean the air and control the climate in buildings.

Our culture

Our shared culture is extremely important to how we operate as it keeps us all connected and feeling part of one team, even though we operate in over 15 different businesses across 28 sites. In fact, it is so fundamental that we engaged our entire workforce to identify what makes us tick. What emerged centred around what we now call our Trademark Behaviours, the unique Genuit values that enable us to be at our best.
