Logistics & Transit: We are observing a general increase in transit times on sea freight routes of around 14 to 21 days due to necessary diversions. We are compensating for this as far as possible through forward-looking warehousing and adjusted scheduling cycles. Freight Costs: Rising energy costs and bottlenecks in the supply of intermediate products may have an indirect impact on procurement prices. Please understand that, due to these unpredictable market dynamics, we reserve the right to adjust our pricing and freight conditions should the burdens reach an extraordinary level. Risk management: We are in close contact with our logistics partners and suppliers in order to identify potential bottlenecks as early as possible and activate alternative routes or sources of supply. Important Note : Please note that the situation is very dynamic. The above information does not constitute a legal guarantee for future delivery dates. In the event of circumstances beyond our control ( force majeure ), delays cannot be completely ruled out despite the utmost care. We therefore recommend planning your requirements well in advance.

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[Engineering services for precise special solutions In modern production environments, space-saving, reliable components are increasingly crucial - especially in complex system structures. As part of its engineering services, the Masterflex Group offers the opportunity to develop customer-specific special solutions in order to secure real competitive advantages. A current application example from the mechanical engineering sector illustrates this approach: A custom-developed multiple hose system made of polyurethane (PU) was integrated into a complex machine. It replaces conventional distribution systems and supplies several compressed air modules simultaneously. The flow rate is regulated via a central valve. The solution saves installation work, reduces the amount of material used and enables a compact design. Discover short Spotlight-Video with Giovanni Rossi. PU Multiple tubes as an alternative to PFA tubes The connection stability of classic hose systems can be impaired, particularly in applications with high ambient temperatures. This can lead to leaks and increased maintenance costs. In such cases, the material-locking multiple tubes developed by the Masterflex Group offer a thermally stable alternative - also as an option to PFA tubes, depending on the application. Properties and technical features of the multiple tubes Fabric-locking, flow-stable connection technology Manufactured under clean room conditions in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14644-1 Modular configuration (colors, diameters, materials) Lengths up to 5 meters, suitable for complex layouts Partial axial welding possible at defined points Packaging in accordance with cleanroom-compatible standards Production on modern high-tech assembly surfaces From PFA to TPU - Masterflex Group as technology leader & development partner in hose/tubing technology Masterflex Group serves customer requests for high-performance hose systems - with or without the material PFA - either by utilizing strong Group synergies or through targeted development work. Currently, the material alternatives for classic PFA applications are still very limited. Due to their special mechanical properties, fluoropolymers are still among the best-performing plastics for high-temperature and chemical applications. Thanks to the combined expertise within our group of companies, we offer a broad range of technologies for a wide variety of applications. We realize hose inquiries and development projects with high-performance fluoropolymers such as PFA together with our sister company APT in Düsseldorf - the expert for fluoropolymer processing within the group. At the same time, we are also a strong partner for our customers at our locations when it comes to material-specific alternatives. With a deep understanding of applications, regulatory know-how and many years of development experience, we find individual solutions - efficient, sustainable and application-specific. Always the right hose system, so to speak! Watch short video Discover development solutions]]></content:encoded>

Once again, the Masterflex Group is one of these “World Market Leader Champions”. The entire list of world market leaders is published every year in the business magazine “WirtschaftsWoche”. “We are very proud to be “World Market Leader Champion” again in 2025,” says Dr. Andreas Bastin, CEO of the Masterflex Group. “It confirms that we have continuously positioned the company well in recent years.” The title also underlines the Masterflex Group's strong international market position. To make it onto the list of world market leaders, companies must fulfill a number of strict criteria: A global market leader must be number one or two worldwide in terms of revenue in at least one relevant market segment At least 50 percent of the annual turnover - lower limit: 50 million euros - must be generated abroad and on three continents. The owners must be based at least in part in Germany.]]></content:encoded>

                        <title>More plastic, less waste - Cradle to Cradle makes it possible!</title>

                            As a manufacturer of plastic products, we firmly believe that the cradle-to-cradle approach is the solution to the sustainability challenges facing our industry. This approach, which takes up the principles of the circular economy, enables us to design and use plastics in such a way that they do not become waste after use, but can be returned to the production cycle as valuable resources.

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[Traditionally, plastics are often seen as an environmental burden. But with the Cradle to Cradle approach, plastics become sustainable materials. This approach ensures that all the materials we use are either biodegradable or can be recycled indefinitely without losing quality. This means that there is no waste, but a closed material cycle. Plastic waste can be continuously recycled and unavoidable abrasion becomes a biological nutrient. Let's imagine a world in which all companies follow this approach. It would not only reduce the extraction of raw materials, but also drastically reduce pollution. In such a system, even more plastics could and should be used. After all, the more high-quality, recyclable plastics there are in circulation, the greater the resource that can be used again and again. This approach also opens up completely new business models and innovation opportunities. We can develop products that are specifically designed to be easily dismantled and recycled after use. This not only promotes environmental friendliness, but also economic efficiency, as dependence on new raw materials is reduced. MORE plastics can therefore make sense - if they are produced and recycled in line with the cradle-to-cradle approach. They are then no longer disposable products, but part of a sustainable, regenerative system that both protects the environment and offers economic benefits. By taking this path, we can meet the challenges of our time while maximizing the benefits of plastics in a sustainable economy.

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[At the end of June, the Chairman of the Board of the Masterflex Group, Dr. Andreas Bastin, and the Managing Director of REMONDIS Recycling GmbH & Co. KG, Jürgen Ephan, signed a cooperation agreement between the two companies. The aim was to set up an environmental service branch for industrial products made from technical plastics and to implement this in the market for hose and connecting systems. "There is no doubt that we are still at the very beginning of our journey towards a closed-loop system for industrial products made of high-tech plastics. As the Masterflex Group, we have decided to consistently follow this path. To this end, we recently launched our "Hero@Zero" strategic program. In the future, we will offer our customers the right hose not only from a technological and economic point of view, but also in terms of sustainability. This is how Andreas Bastin describes the start of the strategic cooperation. In a detailed interview between the renowned trade magazine "Technischer Handel" and Dr. Andreas Bastin, you can now gain exciting insights into the background and implementation plans of this ambitious Masterduct project.

In addition to teamwork, Masterduct is focusing on clear identification of the hoses and developing solutions to make the materials used recyclable. Dr. Bastin said: "The most important basic requirement is that the hoses are clearly identifiable - and we can ensure that. For about three and a half years, we have been using the Ampius NFC chip in all the tubing systems we sell, i.e. tubing plus connector technology. This allows us to clearly identify and track the life cycle of our hoses. Dr. Andreas Bastin also emphasized that the Hero@Zero project will be a step-by-step transformation process. Masterduct is starting with industrial products, in particular extruded hoses made of various plastics, and is now working on optimizing the logistical recycling process.
