Helec specialises in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems, district heating projects, packaged plant rooms, and related service contracts.<\/p>\n<p>The group has also strengthened its water sector offering via B&amp;D Plastics, which recently marked its first year within Flowmax. The Colchester- and Aldridge-based firm provides plastic pressure pipework systems for water treatment and chemical processing.<\/p>\n<p>Flowmax has further extended its international footprint with a regional distribution hub in the Middle East, creating a platform to support overseas customers.<\/p>\n<p>Graham Morrell, CEO of Flowmax Group said: &#8220;Our growth comes from staying true to our model. We partner with exceptional owner-managed businesses in fluid technologies and provide continuity and opportunity, helping owners realise value while continuing to run their business day to day, backed by the resources of a wider group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat matters most is how this translates into tangible benefits for our businesses: access to capital, specialist operational support, and a wider network of capability and opportunity. Over the past year, we\u2019ve strengthened our international platform, expanded in green energy, and continued to grow in water, all designed to support long-term, sustainable growth and create brighter futures for our businesses.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coventry-based specialists in fluid technologies have increased revenue by 50% over five
