Dantec targets Spain
MERSEYSIDE hose manufacturer Dantec is targeting Spanish exports after striking a distribution deal.
The Moreton-based firm makes composite hoses for the transfer of petrol, chemicals and liquefied gases.
Agent Murguia Tecnotech is a specialist supplier of industrial hoses to Spain’s oil and gas sector.
Managing director John Laidlaw said: “Spain is a new market that offers huge potential to Dantec. The territory has a large and developed fuel network which gives the firm an instant market for its products.
“We see huge potential for our tank truck hoses and will be promoting our products to Spain’s strong chemical plant sector. The tough economic climate meant Dantec needed a distributor that knew the local opportunities and had excellent contacts on the ground.
“Murguia Tecnotech is focussed on exactly the market we are targeting. Moreover the firm demonstrated the confidence and drive needed to build Dantec’s presence in Spain. Moving forward we are keen to work closely with our new partners to gain ground from our competitors.”
Dantec estimates the global composite hose sector is worth around £45m. The firm is hoping to push up annual sales by £1m to £6.5m over the next year.
