Dantec – Global Leader in Composite Hoses

Dantec composietslangen

Originally, Dantec began as a company manufacturing gaskets. The demands of the largest petrochemical complex in the United Kingdom, located in Ellesmere Port, led the company to diversify into other industrial products, including hoses, in 1977. An ever-increasing demand from existing customers for a reliable supplier of composite hoses prompted Dantec to start production. Through continuous innovation and development, Dantec has grown to become the world leader in composite hoses. To produce the highest quality and a wide range of composite hoses, Dantec uses materials of the highest specification and follows the strictest procedures in its purpose-built factory in the north of England.

Collaborating to Provide Solutions to Complex Matters

The partnership between Dantec and Imbema dates back several decades. The company Cleton & Meijer BV, acquired by Imbema in 1999, already held a strong position as a supplier of industrial hoses to the rapidly growing (petro)chemical industry and the storage and transshipment sectors in areas such as the Botlek, South Limburg, and the Port of Antwerp. The increasing demand for safe and reliable flexible hoses for the transportation of chemicals and oil products was met by Dantec's offerings. Today, this solid partnership continues to provide numerous opportunities to jointly deliver solutions to complex challenges.
