The Masterflex Group’s consulting and solutions expertise is to be expanded by 2035 and products transferred to the circular economy. With the Hero@Zero vision, the Masterflex Group is embarking on the path as a ”first mover” in the industry. In this way, we will also be one step ahead of the expected legislative changes - whether it is a plastics tax or the pricing of CO₂ emissions. For us as a group of companies focusing on hose and connection solutions made from high-performance plastics, however, this also means another challenge: in the interests of our customers, this should be as economical as possible. As Dr. Andreas Bastin, CEO of the Masterflex Group, outlines in an interview with Technischer Handel: ”This means developing overall concepts that prevent hoses from becoming exorbitantly expensive. By combining requirements management, the right choice of materials and ideal processing, we want to be able to supply cost-effective products that are as ecologically clean as possible in a circular economy.” Our strategists have recognized the economic and political development

We are expanding our presence in the market for robotics and automation applications. In addition to high-performance hoses, we also offer customised solutions. Increasingly complex motion sequences in industrial applications require increasingly manoeuvrable hoses - with a similarly long service life as hoses for classic industrial applications. The high-performance hoses developed by the Masterflex Group especially for applications in the field of robotics and automation fulfil these requirements even in extreme environments. In addition to standard hoses, the Masterflex Group offers comprehensive engineering services. The experts from APT, Masterflex and Novoplast Schlauchtechnik support customers in the development of customised hose solutions that are precisely tailored to the specific and sometimes extreme requirements in the field of robotics and automation. The market launch is accompanied by a marketing campaign in which industrial robots react in a very human way to the dangers posed by inferior hose solutions. It starts with a welding robot that suffers from thermal overload. In welding applications with flying

The trade magazine TH spoke to Masterflex Group CEO Andreas Bastin about the initiated circular economy transformation of Masterflex SE At the end of June, the Chairman of the Board of the Masterflex Group, Dr. Andreas Bastin, and the Managing Director of REMONDIS Recycling GmbH & Co. KG, Jürgen Ephan, signed a cooperation agreement between the two companies. The aim was to set up an environmental service branch for industrial products made from technical plastics and to implement this in the market for hose and connecting systems. ”There is no doubt that we are still at the very beginning of our journey towards a closed-loop system for industrial products made of high-tech plastics. As the Masterflex Group, we have decided to consistently follow this path. To this end, we recently launched our ”Hero@Zero” strategic program. In the future, we will offer our customers the right hose not only from a technological and economic point of view, but also in terms of sustainability. This is how Andreas Bastin describes the start of the strategic cooperation. In a detailed interview between the renowned

Masterflex is expanding its product portfolio with a hose that not only has the proven Masterflex quality, but also protects the environment: The Master-PUR L Bio Based. The Master-PUR L Bio Based consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane made largely from renewable raw materials. Its carbon footprint is therefore extremely environmentally friendly. And that’s not all: the hose offers the same high quality and performance as conventional hoses and is in no way inferior to the standard Master-PUR L MHR series in terms of mechanical properties and durability. Using a bio-based hose is not only a contribution to environmental friendliness, but also a statement of sustainability and responsibility. Convince yourself of our bio-based hose now and benefit from all its advantages. Our experts will be happy to advise you.
