WPL

WPL was established in 1991 and originally produced glass reinforced plastic (GRP) products. Following its success in this marketplace, WPL launched into the wastewater industry by producing the first packaged sewage treatment plant, the HiPAF (High Performance Aerated Filter). Although the technology had been around for about 30 years, WPL was the first to supply such a plant in the UK. The original one was sold to a caravan park in Cornwall and, following this, several distributors began to sell the HiPAF in a number of different sectors, principally to commercial organisations like rural pubs, hotels and caravan parks that are not on mains sewage. In 1995, one of the four founding shareholders sold their shares to Wendage Pollution and Watling Hope. As a result, WPL launched the Grease Guzzler in 1996 and soon after closed down the GRP mouldings side of the business in order to focus on wastewater treatment products. The Diamond sewage treatment plant originally entered the WPL product range as an import from the US in 1997. Following its success, WPL moved production to the UK in 2009 and now produces all Diamond products at its factory in Waterlooville, Hampshire. During its first ten years of trading, WPL introduced a number of other wastewater treatment products which quickly became leaders in their field. The latest addition is a comprehensive range of premium quality rainwater harvesting systems which boost the company's green credentials and help to make WPL a serious sustainability contender within the domestic, developer and commercial markets. Today, the company serves two primary markets - domestic and commercial, and utility, municipal and industrial. WPL is the principal supplier of package sewage treatment plants to the UK's water utilities and one of the largest UK providers of small domestic sewage treatment plants, package sewage treatment plants, rainwater harvesting equipment and grease management solutions.
