Roxtec reports boost in sales

THE  UK arm of Swedish industrial seal manufacturer Roxtec is reporting a 45% growth in sales to £5m.

The firm says it has seen a four-fold increase over the past eight years and attributes the growth to a pick-up in activity in construction, along with strong demand for its products offshore and in the petrochemicals and renewable energy sectors.

Graham O’Hare, managing Ddrector of Roxtec’s Bury-based UK arm, said: “We are working closely with our customers to make cable and pipe seals specific to their needs. We are considered as industry experts and we work with electrical design engineers to find ways of preventing or mitigating the risks from fire, blast, gases or water ingress.

“These latest figures highlight that we are the market-leader for cable and pipe sealing systems and, furthermore, that our innovation and investment in new technology is meeting customers’ specific needs.”

Roxtec has recentlu launched a new IT software package, called Roxtec Transit Designer, which allows engineers across a range of industries to design and plan their cable entry points according to the latest standards.
