Many years of development
The Company behind Sacpipe Connection System is Sacpro AB in Sweden. Sacpro AB is Sweden’s leading supplier of tools and materials for relining in buildings. The Company was founded in 1988 by Jan-Erik Svedlund, and today Sacpro has over 35 years of experience in relining inside buildings. At first Sacpro was an entrepreneur working all around Sweden. As the relining inside building was a very new technology Sacpro had to run their own development of materials and tools to make installations faster, easier and safer. Since 2005 Sacpro only served as producer and supplier to the contractors without having any installation business of their own. In other words, there are many years of development and experience behind Sacpipe Connection System.
