Hats off to Genflex

4th Quarter 2009 News & events

As part of its ongoing programme of introducing additional benefits for customers, Genflex has announced the adoption of a ‘caps on’ programme. The company has negotiated with its suppliers that all future orders for hydraulic hose fittings will be delivered with a dust cap fitted to the fitting before dispatch to Genflex in South Africa. This means that in the not too distant future all loose fittings and adaptors supplied by Genflex will be pre-fitted with dust caps.

Genflex MD, David Michell, explains, “This is at no extra cost to our clients. We think it is an important benefit as it ensures that no foreign particles enter hose assemblies before hydraulic assembly. We believe that introducing this preventative measure is a first for South Africa.”
