Tests results for all GOMAX® QUADRA™ flexible hoses, when calculated according to EN 1736:2008, achieves CLASS 1 that is the most stringent permeability category today recognized by the market.

2012 - Construction of a new 5100 square meter (16,732 squared foot) annexe plant specifically designed as an integral continuation of the main building.

2012 - Construction of a photovoltaic / solar powered system capable of generating one-fifth of the factory’s annual power consumption.

2013 - Launch of the division TO UHP - Thermoplastic multi-spiral hoses for ultra high pressure applications such as water cutting, UHP tube cleaning, surface preparation, paint removal, hydro demolition, waterblasting, bolt tensioning.

2013 - ISO14001 certification of Transfer Oil’s environmental management system as one of the first in this industry.

2015 - Approval and certification of its Occupational Health and Safety Management System in accordance with the British Standard OHSAS 18001.
