Press-fit leader celebrates 10 years in local market

The world leader in press-fit technology, Viega is celebrating 10 years since it introduced its Propress system to Australia.

"Viega was the pioneer of copper press-fit technology and we were the first to market in Australia," says Robert Hardgrove, Technical Manager / Strategic Projects for Viega in Australia.

"Since launching in 2006, Viega has established a steadfast reputation for quality, innovation, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. While we had humble beginnings as plumbers and contractors learned about the many benefits of our products, their use increased rapidly.

"The early adopters were predominantly from regional areas, however today Viega's products are used extensively across metropolitan and regional areas by some of the country's largest plumbing groups and contractors - many specified at the design stage."

Humble beginnings
While Viega was introduced to Australia in 2006, it was first mooted for use in 2003, when the impending threat of plastic systems led the National Sales Manager of Crane Copper Tube (CCT) to look for other methods of joining copper tube instead of brazing. Early in 2004, a CCT consultant made contact with Viega to assess the viability of Viega Propress for new house constructions. At that point it wasn't deemed suitable due to the size and cost of the tool.
