Who We Are

Conex Bänninger, the widely recognised brand identity of IBP, specialises in providing the best plumbing fittings and accessories across the globe. But more than the products themselves we offer innovative and versatile jointing solutions.

For the last 100 years, Conex Bänninger has been building its reputation for quality manufacturing, backed by first-class customer service and unrivalled expertise.

Passionate about excellence, Conex Bänninger is a byword for quality in the domestic, commercial, industrial, air conditioning and refrigeration and shipbuilding markets worldwide.

What We Do

From humble beginnings as a metal foundry in Germany in 1909, Conex Bänninger has grown considerably – a growth which has consistently been based on innovation.

Conex Bänninger continues to set the standards in the industry with the launch of new fittings and ideas which are set to become the industry benchmark – like the new Conex Push-Fit range. Conex Bänninger offers a wide variety of connecting technologies including end feed, compression, threaded, crimp, solder ring and push-fit.

More Innovation

Launching new product ranges

Never standing still and always exploring new opportunities, Conex Bänninger has continued to lead the way. Inspiration from our in-house design team has given our customers access to solutions which help their business move forward. A long track record of product and service innovation has been continued with the launch of new products – most recently Conex Push-Fit, the perfect solution for connecting multiple tube types quickly, efficiently and safely.

More Developments

Experienced learning

With 100 years of experience behind us, Conex Bänninger has some of the industry’s leading experts amongst its committed team. A century of dedication to quality has given our people the knowledge to develop new products, service customers, and transfer their expertise across markets and continents.

More Investment

Factory and warehouse improvements

In global markets and changing times, Conex Bänninger has continued to invest – in people, in skills, in production and in infrastructure.

A significant programme of investment within our two European production facilities in Poland and Spain, has rewarded our customers with improved efficiency and greater quality products. With the reduction in lead times and an enhanced quality assurance, this provides a greater customer satisfaction.

More Sustainable

Sustainability through ISO 14001

From the start to the finish of all our processes, we build in sustainability. This includes ranges which are manufactured from recycled materials, through to the recycling of all our scrap. Our company believes the environment matters, that’s why each of our divisions is working hard to achieve the highest possible environmental accreditation. Our head office is in the process of being awarded ISO 14001 as part of a progressive implementation.

More Care

Customer product training

We take our responsibilities to our people and communities seriously. We consider the impact of everything we do on all our stakeholders - from our customers, suppliers, employees, to the local communities.

Conex Bänninger provides technical training and marketing support which is all part of our doing more culture.
