A number of the divisions have been rebranded as Eriks prior to the Eriks UK changeover.
Eriks Sealing and Flow Technology was launched in September 2007, Eriks Integrated Solutions switched to its new guise in January 2008 as did Eriks International.

Eriks UK will operate a twin business model, based on that of its parent organisation.
As well as its traditional strength in the MRO sector the company will also be able to attract OEM business because of its R and D and manufacturing capability.

Such expertise is available both in the UK and at other facilities across Europe.
Eriks UK is also looking at making strategic acquisitions, indeed this has already been demonstrated with the purchase of FHS - Flexible Hose Solutions and Forco Electrical Services in 2007.
