Lewis-Goetz, an Eriks company, entered into a distribution agreement for the Flexion hydraulic hose brand in North America. According to Lewis Goetz, the partnership allows it to deliver consistent quality, expertise and technical support across a wide range of hydraulic hose products and services from nearly 100 locations in the United States and Canada.
Flexion hoses are designed to handle 50 percent more pressure than required by industry standards, and they provide increased abrasion and ozone resistances that are 10 times better than industry standards, the company reports.
“Our top priority is working with our customers to meet their unique needs, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution,” says Jeremy Lloyd, North American product manager for Lewis-Goetz. “The Flexion line allows for product innovation to align with advances in coupling and plating technologies, as well as safe solutions for extreme environmental applications. Our customers’ safety and their needs for innovative solutions are the primary drivers for our continued development and expansion of this important Eriks brand.”
Lewis-Goetz, the largest company owned by Eriks North America, is an industrial distributor that was ranked 19th on Modern Distribution Management magazine’s 2015 list of Top 40 Industrial Distributors.
