"Excellence made easy"
Attila Áron Nagy
CEO
Our origins are rooted in tackling critical infrastructure problems with scientific ingenuity. The need for advanced no-dig sewer repair in Hungary was dramatically highlighted by a major loess hill collapse near Budapest in 1964, caused by failing sewer infrastructure.
An engineering team, including our future founder Dr. Gábor Nagy, first developed a flood-grouting technology using waterglass, initially with gas and later as the patented liquid "Superaqua" system. While pioneering for its time and used across Europe into the 1980s, these early methods were eventually phased out due to safety and environmental concerns.
The 1980s saw advancements like inspection cameras and packers, enabling targeted pipe repairs but revealing the inadequacy of existing resins. Materials available then lacked sufficient workability, struggled to cure reliably in cool, wet sewer conditions, and posed health risks due to solvents.
Recognizing these specific deficiencies, Dr. Gábor Nagy undertook focused laboratory research. This work culminated in his invention of the groundbreaking 3P resins, specifically designed to overcome these challenges and meet all the practical requirements for effective CIPP repairs.
Building directly on this pivotal invention, Dr. Nagy established Polinvent Kft. on October 29, 1990. Starting modestly from an office at the Technical University of Budapest, the company quickly proved the value of its innovation with successful projects in Budapest and internationally.
The beginnings
1990
The official founding of Polinvent Kft. marked a significant milestone. This year also saw the patenting of our 3P resins and the launch of our first reference projects, establishing us as a trusted player in the field
3P Days Events
1998
Our 3P Days events in 1998 and 2004 brought together companies from around the world at our facilities. During these international gatherings, participating businesses presented and demonstrated their innovations before many became widely adopted. These exhibitions created valuable industry connections and provided a platform for sharing emerging technologies.
Modernization & Polyurea Innovations
2007
We expanded by building a brand new factory and establishing an analytical laboratory. In the same year, we developed our first hot sprayed polyurea products and were instrumental in founding PDA Europe, contributing to industry standards across the continent.
Recognition for Innovation
2012
Our dedication to research and innovation was recognized when we were awarded the prestigious Millennium Prize for our exceptional patenting performance and groundbreaking contributions to the field
New Brand Identity and Product Development
2020
We introduced a refreshed brand identity and launched several innovative products, reaffirming our commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and meeting the evolving needs of our customers.
