Wavin N.V. is a Dutch manufacturer of pipes (mainly for drainage and Water supply purposes). The company was founded on 5 August 1955.[1]

Due to the common use of Wavin products, the name has become genericised in some parts of Ireland to refer to any manufacturer of orange-coloured drainpipes. Wavin operates in three locations in Ireland. The main manufacturing and distribution plant in Ireland is located in Balbriggan, North County Dublin with additional offices in Lisburn and Cork [2].
