Polypipe marks Data Yard’s supplier century

Plastic piping manufacturer Polypipe Building Products has become the 100th supplier to join Data Yard, the industry-owned data pool established by BMF and NMBS to streamline the sharing of product information between suppliers and merchants.

Designed for use across the building materials supply chain, Data Yard provides a centralised, secure platform with protocols to safeguard the quality, consistency, and depth of product data, ensuring it aligns with market needs and increasingly stringent government requirements.

For Polypipe, the UK’s leading manufacturer of plastic piping systems and low-carbon heating solutions for the residential market, with over 4,000 product lines, Data Yard offers far more than a straightforward data management solution.

Gareth Thomas, managing director of Data Yard, said: “We are delighted that our 100th confirmed supplier sits within the Plumbing & Heating category. Polypipe’s commitment to Data Yard underlines the platform’s potential across the building materials industry, benefiting all product categories, from heavyside to lightside.”
