Kingspan Insulation has selected Expereo as its parner for global connectivity, to deliver a fully managed connectivity solution across its worldwide operations. Expereo’s solution enables Kingspan Insulation to consolidate its complex network of disparate ISPs into a single, centralised, fully managed solution – enhancing visibility, compliance, and agility to enable rapid growth and scalability of Kingspan Insulation’s operations.
90 sites in 28 countries needing unified solutions
Kingspan Insulation manages a complex WAN environment with 90 sites globally across multiple vendors, which creates significant challenges in terms of efficient connectivity, compliance and security. With the business moving away from MPLS and embracing SaaS and cloud services, the need for resilient, standardised, and agile connectivity has become critical.

The project brief includes the design, implementation and management of all services through expereoOne, Expereo’s NaaS platform. Expereo’s solution is able to cover all current sites and future potential sites under one contract, supported in region, which gives Kingspan Insulation the agility to scale quickly during acquisitions or streamline services when needed.
Ben Elms, CEO of Expereo, comments:
“Global enterprises often struggle with fragmented networks that slow growth and increase risk. Our managed services and expereoOne platform provide the visibility, control, and agility Kingspan Insulation needs to support growth and innovation while reducing complexity and risk. With a single source of truth for all sites, services, and billing – Kingspan Insulation can scale confidently, stay compliant, and empower its team to focus on innovation and expansion.”
Through expereoOne, Kingspan now has full visibility and control over its network from ordering and billing to ticketing and auditing. The portal offers real-time performance insights and utilisation reporting, helping Kingspan Insulation optimise resources and maintain security.
With a lean technical team managing 90 facilities in 28 countries, including 42 factories, standardisation is essential for driving efficiency and scalability. Expereo streamlines the onboarding of new locations and ensures seamless connectivity with automated failover.
Liam Waters, Divisional IT Operations Manager at Kingspan Insulation, states:
“Kingspan Insulation is an innovative global organization and through our new partnership with Expereo we have the ability to expand rapidly whilst maintaining the visibility and control that we require. Deploying global standards is critical and with one vendor, one platform, and one set of processes, we can integrate new sites faster, maintain compliance, and keep pace with business demand.”
Other services under consideration
Expereo now manages Kingspan Insulation’s underlay and overlay services, including SD-WAN, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), and broadband, with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity under consideration for future rapid deployments for its manufacturing sites. Remote SD-WAN setup can be completed in less than 30 minutes, while future options such as LEO provide flexibility for urgent business needs without compromising performance.
