Masterflex, a specialist for technical hoses and connection systems, is expanding its commitment on the subcontinent with a new Internet presence and a local partner. The new website provides multinational and Indian companies with information about the high-quality products of the Masterflex, Novoplast Schlauchtechnik and APT brands. The local partner for sales is the technical distributor Ovum Technologies, based in Delhi and Mumbai. "India is an important market for us," says Oliver Hascher, managing director at Masterflex Asia. "We expect the Indian manufacturing sector to grow significantly over the next five to ten years." More and more multinational companies are setting up production facilities in India. This also increases the demand for high-quality, certified and safe hoses and connection systems. Says Hascher: "We anticipate a market with good growth potential and significantly increasing demand for our products."

Masterflex is launching its commitment on the subcontinent together with a local partner: Ovum Technologies is a technical distributor for industrial hoses with branches in India's two most important industrial and corporate regions - Delhi and Mumbai. The company has a well-developed network of technical consultants and distributors across the subcontinent, serving multinational as well as Indian companies. "In Ovum Technologies, we have found a loyal and trustworthy partner that shares our values. In addition, the company enjoys an excellent reputation in the Indian market," says Hascher. Masterflex intends to offer customized special solutions in India in addition to standard products.
