The Alabama-based segment provides pipe and fittings for residential and light commercial sprinkler systems.

BRUSSELS — Aliaxis SA on Monday announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the manufacturing assets of the Johnson Controls CPVC pipe and fittings business for residential and light commercial sprinkler systems.
