The UK's two most experienced suppliers of hygienic flexible hose assemblies have merged.

CRP Flex-Rite and Chemgiene will trade as FlexRite Chemgiene and a new company, FlexRite Chemgiene, will be created following the merger, in early 2005.

Darren Spencer, managing director of Chemgiene, becomes sales director of the new company with immediate effect.

FlexRite Chemgiene will offer complete hose management services, including testing, surveys, and a new concept in RFID hose tagging.

Hygienic hose, industrial and chemical hose, and washdown equipment, form the main product group offerings.

"Bringing together two leading suppliers of hygienic, chemical transfer and industrial hose assemblies will enable us to provide an improved service throughout the UK Brewing, Dairy, Food Processing, Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries and a better product range," says FlexRite Chemgiene director, John Quilter.

"Our unparalleled range of high quality hygienic hose assemblies, combined with services such as colour-coding, RFID, and site hose management, will help customers cut costs, avoid breakdowns and loss of production.".
