The unit is principally designed for high volume hose production, for machinery manufacturers across the UK and Ireland. It has state-of-the-art machinery, including a Marken automatic cutting machine, and features the Neotech range of hose swaging equipment, which Distag distributes in the UK and Ireland.

Director, Stewart Booth, says: "The increased production capacity is required for the Distag Group nationally – hose assembly and kitting for OEMs is a huge growth area for us. The new unit also functions as a working showroom and demonstration unit for Neotech products."
