Leading European water management specialist GRAF UK has upsized its UK headquarters in Oxfordshire in line with rapid company growth and further plans for expansion.
The company said the relocation to its new, 10,000 sq ft premises on Beaumont Road in Banbury reflects a need to accommodate its ever-expanding team of experts – GRAF now has a 24-strong team in place.
Matthew Rolph, managing director at GRAF UK, commented:
“We’ve been based in the same building since our UK launch, and after more than three years in our first office, we had well and truly outgrown it and knew it was time for an upgrade. A lot has happened in those three years – including the launch of our dedicated Scottish and Irish branches – and the business has grown 160% since 2014. We’re also seeing demand for our products continue to rise across the board, with a particular increase in wastewater treatment orders.”
GRAF’s product ranges – spanning rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment and stormwater management solutions – will still be kept at the previous headquarters on Thorpe Way Industrial Estate, Banbury. The company will continue to dispatch orders to customers up and down the country from the storage facility, which is just over two miles away from the team’s new base.
GRAF UK’s systems, which are made in Germany at one of the world’s most modern production facilities, are custom-designed to meet the precise requirements of individual projects and include all the components required for complete installation. GRAF UK Ltd is a subsidiary of German-based Otto Graf GmbH, a European market leader in the water management sector.
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
