Angus Flexible Pipelines are designed and manufactured from high tenacity polyester textile for pressure and tensile strength combined with a waterproof double coating that also protects against mechanical and chemical damage or wear-and-tear.
Based in northern England, Angus Flexible Pipelines takes advantage of industrial expertise in two trades: weaving (textiles) and pressurised extrusion.
