About Gold Water Pipe Manufacturing Company (GWPMC):

Gold Water Plastic Manufacturing Company was established in 2017 as a national, Afghan-owned enterprise operating in the plastic manufacturing sector. The company specializes in the large-scale production of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes, ranging from 16mm to 800mm in diameter with pressure ratings from PN6 to PN20. These pipes are used for water supply systems, irrigation networks, sewage and drainage, industrial fluid transport, telecommunication conduits, and gas distribution. The company operates on a procurement-to-production-to-sales model, importing HDPE resin and granules as raw materials, processing them through large-scale extrusion and molding, conducting in-house quality control for pressure tolerance and material consistency, and distributing finished products through direct sales and authorized dealers. Key customers include government entities such as the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development and the Ministry of Water and Energy, international NGOs, private construction contractors, wholesalers, retailers, and agricultural clients. The company is registered with the Afghanistan Investment Support Agency (AISA) and the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI), with head office and factory located in Afghanistan.
