The questions importers, contractors and sourcing agents ask before they commit — answered transparently. Where a number depends on your order, we tell you so and confirm it on request, rather than making one up.
WARMHAUS is an Italian manufacturer of PPR, PEX and brass piping and underfloor-heating systems, made in Bologna since 1970. We supply distributors, projects and private-label partners — not single items to consumers.

I. Authenticity & Brand Vera Italia
Is WARMHAUS Really Made in Italy?
Before anything else, serious buyers check that the story is real. These answers cover origin, history — and why a genuine Italian factory is worth a premium over the cheapest pipe on the market.
For the Importer / Agent WARMHAUS is a genuine Italian manufacturer, producing PPR, PEX and brass piping systems in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, since 1970. Four independent certifications — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, German SKZ and German DVGW — plus verifiable Made in Italy origin let you and your end clients confirm authenticity and sell on a premium European positioning.
For the Distributor WARMHAUS has manufactured piping systems since 1970 in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna — Italy’s industrial heartland. More than 50 years of production and four independent certifications give an importer the foundation to position WARMHAUS as an established Italian brand, not a newcomer, when selling into projects and retail channels.
For the Price-Sensitive Buyer WARMHAUS competes on verifiable value, not lowest price. The premium reflects Made in Italy manufacturing since 1970, four independent certifications including German DVGW and SKZ, and a complete 270-plus-SKU system under one quality regime. Importers use this positioning to sell above low-cost private-label pipe and protect a healthier margin.
II. Partnership & Exclusivity Esclusiva di territorio
One Market, One Partner — the Territory Question
For an importer, the exclusivity answer decides everything: whether the market you build stays yours. Here is our policy, in plain words.
For the Importer / Exclusive Distributor Yes. WARMHAUS grants exclusive territory distribution — one distributor per country or region. Once we appoint you, we protect your market and will not sell the same line to a competitor beside you. You invest in building the Made in Italy brand knowing the territory, its customers and its margin are yours to develop.
For the New Distributor We look for partners who can import, stock and distribute across a territory and grow the WARMHAUS brand there. Because distribution is exclusive — one partner per market — we discuss your region, target channels and volume, then confirm terms. Start with a small trial order to test the market before scaling to full containers.Specific partnership terms & annual targets: on request / Coming soon.
For the Distributor A certified Made-in-Italy line lets you compete on trust and system completeness rather than a race to the bottom. With exclusive territory protection, four certifications your customers recognise and a full 270+ SKU range from one supplier, you own a differentiated brand — not a commodity any competitor can undercut next week.
What you can stock, how the four systems fit together, and where the technical numbers for your drawings come from.
For the Wholesaler / Distributor Yes. WARMHAUS supplies four complete systems — PPR water supply, PEX underfloor heating, brass valves and fittings, and tools — across more than 270 SKUs. You stock one Made in Italy line covering pipe, fittings, valves, manifolds and welding tools, instead of losing a sale because one missing part sends your customer to a competitor.
For the Installer / Project Buyer Yes — WARMHAUS designs its PPR, PEX and brass ranges as compatible systems, so your fittings, valves and underfloor-heating manifolds match the pipe. One supplier and one certified system — 4 systems, 270+ SKUs — mean one point of accountability for the whole installation.Full compatibility matrix & dimension tables: Coming soon — sent with the technical datasheets on request.
For the Project Buyer / Installer WARMHAUS PPR covers cold and hot-water supply, with PEX pipe for underfloor heating and brass valves and fittings — 270+ SKUs across 4 systems. Full technical data — exact PN pressure ratings, sizes, temperature classes and design life — is provided in the datasheet for the specific SKUs your project needs.Exact PN ratings, temperature classes & design life: Coming soon — confirmed in the TDS on request.
Four verified certifications enter these answers — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, German SKZ, German DVGW. Everything beyond them is confirmed in writing, on request, before it enters your compliance file.
For the Sourcing Agent WARMHAUS holds four independent third-party certifications: ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), German SKZ and German DVGW. All four cover our PPR, PEX and brass systems made in Bologna. Certificate numbers and issuing details are provided on request, so you can pass verified documents straight to your end client.
For the Project Buyer / Importer Yes. We provide ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SKZ and DVGW certificate copies plus a full export documentation set — commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin — for project tenders and customs clearance across the Gulf, North Africa, Southern and Eastern Europe and Latin America. Tell us the destination and we confirm the exact document list.
For the Compliance Reviewer We confirm only what we can document. Our verified certifications are ISO 9001, ISO 14001, German SKZ and German DVGW — four in total. For any additional certification your market requires, contact us: we will confirm in writing exactly what we hold and can provide before you build it into your compliance file.Additional approvals: Coming soon.

MOQ, Lead Time & Warranty — the Practical Questions
Trial orders, container schedules and what stands behind the goods after they land. Where a figure depends on your order, we say so — and confirm it with your quotation.
For the New Distributor / Private-Label Partner Our MOQ is flexible and low, and we welcome small trial orders. You can test the market and verify quality across our 4 systems and 270+ SKUs before committing to full containers — we would rather earn a long-term territory partner than force a big first order.Exact minimum: depends on the systems and SKUs you select — confirmed on request with your quotation.
For the Importer / Project Buyer Lead time depends on the systems, quantities and whether items are in stock or produced to order in Bologna.
