History of Urecon
Founded in 1969 in Quebec, Canada, Urecon pioneered the use of factory-applied polyurethane foam insulation for pipe systems—launching their signature product, U.I.P.® (Urecon Insulated Pipe). This system combined a durable polyethylene jacket with high-performance insulation to provide an ideal solution for underground and above-ground pipe installations in extreme cold.
Over the decades, Urecon expanded its capabilities and offerings, introducing heat-traced piping, pre-insulated PEX systems (PEX-Flex), and hybrid pipe technologies suitable for water, wastewater, process fluids, and glycol-based heating systems. Their continued focus on thermal efficiency, reliability, and ease of installation has made Urecon the leading name in cold climate piping solutions.
In applications ranging from Arctic mining operations to municipal utilities and college campuses, Urecon systems have proven their performance in the world’s harshest environments. With deep engineering expertise and a commitment to innovation, Urecon continues to lead the market in pre-insulated and heat-traced piping technologies.
