Plastic pipe maker ADS opens New Brunswick distribution centre

Corrugated plastic pipe manufacturer Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. (ADS) has opened a new distribution site in Moncton, N.B.

The stocking yard increases the local availability of the company’s products in and around New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia, the Ohio-based company said. Supply for the yard comes from ADS’ manufacturing plants ,including those in Heidelberg, Ont., and St. Germain, Que. 

Founded in 1966, ADS makes pipes for sports complexes, houses, industrial parks, airports, and the infrastructure of cities and towns throughout Canada and the world.

The new Moncton yard is part of what ADS calls an “on-going multi-million dollar capital investment program announced in 2011 to add pipe production and inventory capacity”. ADS has a network of 29 stocking service yards and 57 manufacturing locations worldwide. “Moncton is critical to this area because it is at the geographic centre of the Maritime Provinces,” said Ewout Leeuwenburg, ADS vice president of international operations.
