                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[How much working time does the boss reserve for the topic of innovation, how many innovative ideas do the employees bring to the table - the scientific selection process of TOP 100 revolves around such questions. Strict test criteria Innovation researcher Professor Nikolaus Franke and his team examine the five categories of innovation-promoting top management, innovation climate, innovation processes and organization, external orientation/open innovation and innovation success in detail. The basis for this is an online questionnaire that the participating companies fill out beforehand. Repeatedly awarded The five categories are reflected in more than 100 test criteria. The Masterflex Group impressed in the selection process and has been awarded the TOP 100 seal since February 1. This is the 5th time that the company has been one of the top innovators. The repeated award recognizes above-average innovation management and underlines the company's consistent focus on future-oriented solutions. Above-average innovation management "The renewed inclusion in the TOP 100 is a great recognition of the performance of our entire team," says Dr. Andreas Bastin , CEO of the Masterflex Group. "It shows that our claim to understand innovation not as a random product, but as a structured and strategic process, has a lasting effect. At the same time, we see this award as an incentive to consistently continue on our path." With its renewed TOP 100 ranking, the Masterflex Group is strengthening its position as an innovative driving force and attractive partner for customers, employees and the market as a whole. The company will continue to make targeted investments in new technologies, processes and expertise in the future.]]></content:encoded>

Industrial-grade protective hoses from Masterflex are used wherever standard products reach their limits. They reliably protect sensitive media lines and safeguard processes in highly dynamic applications. Special solutions for demanding robotics For pick-and-place applications and gripper robots, a specially developed protective hose has been realized that reliably encases internal media hoses. This solution deliberately differs from classic pneumatic or food-certified conveyor hoses and is specifically designed for extreme mechanical and chemical loads. Watch the entertaining spotlight video on the protective hose presented by Thomas Rosanelli now. Watch the video Plastic protective hoses - double safety in plant operation Special developments such as industrial-grade protective conduits prevent internal cables from coming into contact with housings or gear parts, for example in painting robots in the automotive industry. At the same time, they protect the gearbox from escaping media, thus reducing the risk of expensive consequential damage. The Masterflex Group's protective hoses are extremely flexible, compressible, resistant to bending cycles and resistant to lubricating greases as well as paint and cleaning media. Even in the event of a hose tear, the protective function is retained - a decisive factor for process reliability and system availability.

The award as one of the strongest family businesses in 2025 confirms our financial strength, reliability and future viability - and makes us proud to be one of the leading family businesses in Germany. Family businesses shape the country more than many people realize. A study by the Institute for SME Research states that over 90 percent of all German companies are family-run. They also provide around 60 percent of jobs subject to social security contributions and train more than half of all apprentices. Without them, Germany as a business location would hardly be conceivable. Click here for the ranking]]></content:encoded>

Our CEO Dr. Andreas Bastin has now been interviewed about this by the Dutch trade journal for the process industry Process Control - and explains why we as a company are consciously taking this path, what hurdles we have to overcome and how we are taking on a real pioneering role in our industry with our future strategy Hero@Zero . To the interview (original) As a leading manufacturer of plastic hoses and connection systems, we have recognized the challenges involved in handling the materials we use and their impact on the environment. We therefore anchored the topic of sustainability in our corporate strategy at an early stage (Hero@Zero ). Our goal is to gradually restructure our entire product and consulting business by 2035 - towards a circular economy and expanded to include services such as take-back, recycling and eco-certification. We are your project partner for the circular economy]]></content:encoded>

                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[New standards for hygienic hose systems. With the Master-PUR DualFlow 1.6 Food A Masterflex presents a pioneering product innovation for the food industry. The new conveying and transport hose has a seamless, smooth thermoplastic lining on the inside - for maximum hygiene, optimized flow properties and greater safety when conveying sensitive media. Thanks to the seamless production from a single cast , the hose prevents residues, reduces cleaning effort and saves energy during operation. It meets the strict requirements of Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011 including all amending regulations and is therefore perfect for use in the food and biotech industries . A real "hygiene booster " - developed with an eye for detail, manufactured for maximum cleanliness in the process. Faster. More hygienic. Safer. Masterflex food conveyor hoses: Now also recyclable Driven by the sustainable corporate strategy Hero@Zero , the DualFlow not only scores with hygienic performance, but also with an innovative combination of materials : robust on the outside, food-safe on the inside - and at the same time recyclable when made from single-origin materials. Segment Leader Life Marc-Julian Ott puts it in a nutshell: "Masterflex produces over 1,100 kilometers of hose per year. Innovation begins where standard ends. We don't just develop hoses - we create new ways for sensitive media." Find out more now and contact us directly! Find out more]]></content:encoded>

                            <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>
