Icore International has joined forces with Stratoflex, a US-based hose division of Parker Hannifin.
Icore International, the leading UK manufacturer and supplier of specialist PTFE hose products for aerospace and other demanding applications, has joined forces with Stratoflex, a US-based hose division of Parker Hannifin.
The new arrangement means that hose users now have a convenient single source of supply for a comprehensive range of hoses, fittings and custom-engineered hose solutions.
In addition, selected Stratoflex products will now be fabricated in the UK, which will reduce lead times and enhance availability, as well as speeding the development of customised hose assemblies.
Products available from Icore under the new agreement include the proven high performance PTFE, rubber and metal hoses and range of quick disconnect couplings from the Stratoflex range, which complements Icore's own well established range of convoluted PTFE pressure hoses.
A comprehensive family of ancillary items, including hose fittings, rigid tube assemblies, swivel joints, fuel breakaway valves, hydraulic fuses and flow regulators completes the range.
"Both Icore and Stratoflex have built up enviable reputations for supplying innovative and cost-effective hose solutions for aerospace, military, transport and similar applications where performance and reliability are paramount", said Christine Wickings of Icore International.
"Now that the two organisations have joined forces, our customers have access not just to a greatly expanded product range, but also to a pool of expertise and experience which is unmatched in the industry".
Jeffrey L Askam, Business Development Manager of Stratoflex, commented on its new agreement with Icore: "We are excited at the opportunity to support the increasing demand for our products in the UK.
We understand the importance of in-country support and local availability, an understanding that Icore has demonstrated for many years".
"The addition of Icore to the Stratoflex family will undoubtedly enhance our ability to support a wider range of customers".
