A specialist for over 65 years in drainage and water management systems made from synthetic materials, Nicoll designs sustainable, easy-to-install and innovative solutions to meet the challenges of water and accelerate the transition to clean energy.

History of Nicoll

In 1956, Jean Ollivier created the first plastic fitting in his Cholet workshop. It was while observing plumbers building their wastewater drainage networks using fittings made directly on site, with all the disadvantages that entailed, that he came up with the idea of prefabricating them.

Our raison d’être

We exist to provide solutions to the world’s water challenges and accelerate the transition to clean energy.

Far from being a matter for developing countries alone, water issues concern us all. As we have seen all too clearly in France in recent years, water is a precious resource and the consequences of climate change are forcing us to reconsider how it is managed in our territories. As a player in the water supply chain, Aliaxis in France wishes to contribute in its own way to finding solutions to these new challenges.

Our commitments

Aliaxis in France and its subsidiary Nicoll by Aliaxis have been committed for many years to the circular economy and the use of recycled plastics, and are developing a socially responsible approach based on the Aliaxis group’s “Growth with Purpose” strategy.
