history
On January 1st, 1965, the engineering office was founded by Philipp Frank in Mörfelden-Walldorf for the planning of plastic pipe systems in the industrial and civil engineering sectors. A partnership with AGRU Kunststofftechnik GmbH, the most important supplier of the Frank Group, was established very early on . With the increasing demand for high-quality plastic pipe systems, the range was constantly expanded, so that FRANK developed into a full-range supplier in the plastic pipe market.
The company has operated as a GmbH since 1990. In 1991 the first own pipe production was established. A Polish sales company was established in 1994. The production of welding machines began in 1997. Since 1998, large pipes up to 3500 mm in diameter have been manufactured. The Swiss sales company was founded in 2001. Our own plastic valve production facility was set up in 2005. In the same year the New Zealand Production Company was founded. The production of networked PE pipes began in 2007 at AGRU-FRANK in Wölfersheim. The Polish winding tube production was established in 2009. In the same year they won the "Grand Prix of German SMEs 2009"
