The Company

In 1962, Joachim Armerding established an independent sales agency for mineral oils in Bremen. This led to contacts with owners of hydraulic machinery, who depended on quick supply with flexible hoses for spare parts. This resulted in a business, which was able to grow, and HANSA-FLEX developed into Europe’s leading supplier of fluid technology systems.

As Europe’s largest provider of connective elements for fluid technology, the HANSA-FLEX product range includes 900 different types of hoses and around 18,000 connectors with countless varieties of threads, nipples and angles. The group supplies almost all industries, ranging from car manufacturing to sugar production.

The secret of the company’s success is called systematic partnership. Its wide range of products and comprehensive services make this company a valued partner, because, when it comes to a key technology such as hydraulics, a single supplier is the preferred solution.

Especially worth emphasising are the rapid deliveries and the high availability of HANSA-FLEX products. Service is available 365 days a year and operates around the clock, because HANSA-FLEX is very well adapted to the needs of its clients. A tightly-woven service network makes this possible. Anything the branches don’t have in stock or can’t produce locally is ordered from the computer-controlled central warehouse in Bremen, where 45,000 different articles are stored and available within 24 hours.

HANSA-FLEX, with its numerous business areas, subsidiary companies and partnerships, continues to expand and, with the extension of its product range, the company is targeting international growth as a full-range provider.
