oriented production team. Our customers value us as a competent partner in the following areas:

Custom high-quality products are precisely produced to DIN 7715 by computer controlled
lengthening machines that are equipped with a high-performance printer and by a CAD controlled cutting plotter.
Our qualified personnel can offer you our services at any time. Our production crew take part in
internal and external training programs on a regular basis. This ensures up-to-date technical knowledge.

350 production orders per day are the result.
Not only are our high-quality products convincing but also, the individual consultation you will
receive from our product specialists, in cooperation with the production team.
Offering individual onsite consultation is just as important to us as seeking product alternatives and product solutions.

Our supply of high-quality products is the result of our long-standing experience and
our excellent know-how. Fabricating hose lines requires technical knowledge,
experience, accuracy and can only be accomplished by a PED (Pressure Equipment
Directive) certified hose repair shop. We assemble hose lines according to
Module H and up to category III. In our modern assembly and test center we
can assemble and test different types of hose lines. With quick resource
access, fully developed service and assembly skills as well as the well
established hose line revision service, we can offer you the support you
need to operate your equipment safely.

Since 1995, we have been conducting onsite hose line tests in the entire federal territory.
We have two vehicles available to conduct these tests (on appointment only). The documentation
"Repeat inspection in accordance with technical leaflet T002/BGI572 of BG Chemie" is naturally
included. For identification purposes, all hose lines receive a hose number which is permanently
attached to the hose and a certificate is issued. The lifetime as well as the reason for failure
is stored in an electronic data management system for statistical evaluation. Monitoring the test
dates for recertification is part of our service.
This system allows us to replace or if possible, repair a defective hose line in a short period of time.
