Plastic conduit systems
DURABLE. EVERYWHERE. INDISPENSABLE.
Plastic conduits – everywhere and indispensable
Transporting all important elements we need for our modern way of life is our competence in the construction field.
The central issues of our society, such as the broadband expansion, the mobility and energy transition, drinking water supply, extreme weather events, etc. – all these challenges have one thing in common: well-matched infrastructures are part of the solution.
With our products and systems and our continuous further developments, we are taking up these challenges. In principle, there is almost no medium that we cannot manage: Everything that must be transported safely from A to B runs through our conduit systems.

Solution competence, diversity and innovative energy
This is what our three construction-related divisions, DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS and BUILDING TECHNOLOGY stand for.

Our future map shows where we are already offering solutions to the challenges of our time – and which goals we have yet to achieve.
Plastic conduits – durable
The paradox of combining plastics and ecology is only apparent. Because plastic conduits are extremely durable and high-quality industrial goods, not short-lived consumer or disposable products made of cheap plastic. Plastic conduit systems stand for sustainability and can be used for up to 100 years and then be reused. They are not disposable products but a fundamental part of modern infrastructures.
Above all, for durable investment goods, it is the ideal material base since it can be used to cover the vital, essential areas of our infrastructure: water and power supply as well as the exchange of air and data.
Ecological responsibility
Nevertheless, we are aware of our ecological responsibility and, where permitted and technically feasible, we increasingly replace primary raw materials with recycled materials. We need to go easy on resources and make sure that plastic products, including our conduit systems, can be reused to the maximum extent possible.
Plastic pipes made of recycling materials are used in many areas today: For example, in stormwater management, drainage pipes or cable protection.
Eco-balanced electrical conduits
Eco-balanced electrical conduits
We are the first manufacturer to obtain the life cycle assessment (aka eco-balance) for electrical conduits by the association of building product manufacturers (Institut Bauen und Umwelt e. V., IBU). We took great pains to analyse every single element and processing step of the eco-balanced electrical conduits – the formulation, packaging of materials delivered, dispatch of conduits, and even the consumption of compressed air and cooling water. By using regenerates in the production of these corrugated plastic conduits, we consume around 60 percent fewer fossil resources such as mineral oil. In addition, FBY-EL-F co2ntrol and FFKuS-EM-F-105 co2ntrol save up to 47 percent carbon dioxide per running metre as compared to conventional electrical conduits. To make the two products also CO2 neutral, we compensate for the carbon dioxide emissions during manufacturing and plant trees in our home region of Königsberg in Bavaria, Germany. The eco-balanced co2ntrol corrugated plastic conduits are listed in the database of the German Sustainable Building Council (Deutsche Gesellschaft für nachhaltiges Bauen – DGNB). co2ntrol® conduits bear the type III eco-label.
What are the advantages of plastic conduit systems?
Plastic conduits are characterised by their extreme durability. They can be used for up to 100 years and then recycled. They additionally guarantee high quality standards, are low-weight and can be easily installed.
What are the applications of plastic conduit systems?
The range of applications of plastic conduit systems is vast. They are a fundamental component of our modern infrastructure and permeate almost all areas of our lives – they transport drinking water, ensure a healthy indoor climate, promote the mobility and energy transition as well as the broadband expansion, support the natural water cycle and much more.
Does FRÄNKISCHE manufacture eco-balanced plastic conduits?
We are the first manufacturer of eco-balanced electrical conduits. They are listed in the database of the German Sustainable Building Council (Deutsche Gesellschaft für nachhaltiges Bauen, DGNB). By using regenerates, our co2ntrol product line consumes up to 60 percent fewer fossil resources and saves approx. 47 percent CO2.
Triple strength in construction engineering
Solution competence, diversity and innovative energy – this is what our three construction-related divisions Drainage Systems, Electrical Systems and Building Technology stand for. There is hardly any field left where our products are not being used. And we are much more than just conduit manufacturers.
