Celebrating 10 years at Masterflex

Masterflex has been up and running for over 18 years in the UK, and this week we are celebrating as one of our members has reached the 10 year milestone.

Philip Edwards joined Masterflex in 2004 and one of his first jobs was to run the foil machine that creates the Flamex BF hoses.

Over the years he has developed an understanding of how all three machines are set up, using different tools and materials in order to manufacture hoses, ductings and clips.

Philip has created hoses of various sizes, materials and diameters, ranging from 38mm to 900mm and has always taken great pride in the products he has produced.

He has created many hoses to suit a wide variety of industries such as Woodworking, Construction, Air Conditioning and Ventilation, Automotive and the Environment.

On a weekly basis, he maintains the stock levels, produces any new orders that come in, then packs the hoses ready for collection.

Thank you for the hard work Philip.

Unusual uses for Masterflex Hoses

How creative have you been with Masterflex hoses?

One student visited Masterflex for her college course as she wanted to travel to West Africa with a light weight, durable hose.

She managed to turn Flamex BF into a snake that moved freely, mimicking the movements of a real snake.

The overall aim was to carry out research on the relationship between monkeys and snakes in their natural environment.

Another student transformed a small length of Master PUR L into a robotic fish.

Do you have any unusual uses for Masterflex Hoses?

If so, we would like you to get in touch and tell us what the hoses are used for.

Masterflex create a variety of hoses using different lengths, diameters and materials to suit everyone’s needs.

Once the order has been placed, there is a quick turn around from you ordering it, to receiving the product (restrictions may apply)

Whether it’s for Woodworking, Construction, Air Conditioning and Ventilation, Automotive or Asbestos removal, we can manufacture any hose.

Don’t forget we can also create clips to attach the hose to the main unit.

A typical day at Masterflex…

So what is a ‘typical’ day at Masterflex I hear you ask?

Daily orders come in via email, phone call or fax and it is down to 2 lads in the office and 4 men on the shop floor to complete the transactions.

Some days can be quite hectic in the office dealing with quotes, orders and deliveries, but we make sure everything is to the correct specification and dispatched on time.

As a manufacturer we deal with end users, suppliers and distributors, around the UK and further afield. Today, our products are in use throughout various industries, such as Automotive, Construction, Food, Pharmaceutical, Woodworking and Air Conditioning.

Masterflex Technical Hoses Limited can also design and manufacture a hose or ducting to a customers’ specific needs.

Ploughing through…

Here at Masterflex, we are ploughing through the Agricultural sector, separating the seeders from the slurry’s, tillage from tractors and balers from harvesters.

So far we have had some great feedback but still need your help.

Do you know someone who works within this industry?

Does your friend buy or sell agricultural machinery?

Is your uncle the boss of a company supplying agricultural parts?

Masterflex are particularly interested in the type of hoses that are currently being used and what the main sizes are, especially on the seeding machines.

If you know where the parts are being manufactured that would be greatly appreciated, whether it is in the UK or abroad.

Please share or re-tweet as we still need lots more information to complete our market survey.

If you can help please contact Hayley via hayley@masterflex-uk.com
