Uponor to close down its factory in Middelfart, Denmark

As part of the continuous improvement of its manufacturing footprint, Uponor has decided to close down its pressure pipe factory in Middelfart, Denmark. The factory is part of Uponor’s infrastructure division, Uponor Infra. The closure will take place during the fourth quarter of 2022, and it affects approximately 40 employees.

Uponor Infra division’s factory in Middelfart, Denmark is specialized in pressure pipe production for the Danish market. Following a strategic review, Uponor has taken the decision to close the factory.

“The Middelfart factory has an excellent staff of highly competent employees. Unfortunately, the operation has not succeeded to obtain the needed profitability. Consequently, we have decided to close the operation as we can supply the Danish market from our factories located in Sweden, Finland and Poland. Our strong sales team in Denmark will continue to serve the Danish market with our entire range of high-quality products and services also in the future,” says Sebastian Bondestam, President, Uponor Infra.
