Masterflex AG, Gelsenkirchen, April 2010
Masterflex AG has reason to celebrate. Deutsche Messe AG presented the internationally active hose manufacturer from Gelsenkirchen with a certificate for its 20th anniversary of participation during this year's Hannover Messe.
At what is still the world's largest industrial trade fair of the year, Masterflex AG presented new products as well as its proven product range - for the 20th time in a row without interruption.
"The first participation in the Hannover Messe in 1990 was a real adventure for the then still young company," reports Hans-Jürgen Günzing, Plant Manager and Technical Manager at Masterflex AG. "We designed the trade fair displays ourselves back then, for example." But it's not just Masterflex AG's trade fair presence that has changed enormously; the Hannover Messe itself now presents a different face.
Participation in this year's Hannover Messe was once again a very great success for Masterflex AG, despite the difficult arrival situation. "Many interesting technical discussions and numerous new contacts were made on all days of the fair," said Alfons Beitz, Sales Manager of Masterflex AG. "As a specialist for sophisticated hose and connection systems for the entire industry, our booth was very busy. The numerous exhibits on the booth also allowed trade visitors to see our high-quality products for themselves directly on site."
Masterflex presented the innovations of the last few months from the hose and connection systems sectors at the trade fair. In addition to the proven standard products of the Master-PUR and Master-Clip series, Masterflex placed a strong focus on the latest product innovations. The new "A" hose series in accordance with TRBS 2153 in particular attracted strong interest from trade visitors.
Since its foundation in 1987, Masterflex AG has built up enormous product and processing expertise. Masterflex masters the entire process chain: from basic research and the use of materials to the development of its own manufacturing processes and the production and sale of hoses and connection systems. With this competence, the company is now the technology leader in many areas, setting new standards worldwide with numerous innovations.
