Asset International's prowess in manufacturing Weholite large diameter polyethylene pipes takes it all over Europe and beyond, utilising the product's sturdiness and size in a broader range of applications than one might originally think, including culverts for Arctic Circle highways and data centres in Finland.
Luckily for Asset, Weholite does not just take the team to frozen Nordic lands. Managing Director Simon Thomas revealed to EPPM that one unusual application for large diameter plastic pipes was at a game reserve in South Africa, where during the winter, a river would flood preventing a migrating herd of rhino from getting to fresh grazing land.
"We supplied pipes to a local company down there to be made into a raft to transport the rhinos back over so they wouldn't run out of food and starve."
