can learn about the Wachs online
cut time calculators via the YouTube
website, to calculate estimates when

Flexseal enters French market
AS part of the continued European
growth of the Fernco Group, Flexseal
Couplings has announced the launch of
a new operation in France.
Operating under the Fernco brand
name, the French office will supply the
group’s range of drainage and plumbing
couplings, and provide the French
marketplace with an alternative to those
currently on sale.
As a key part of this expansion,
Fernco France has announced a new
strategic partnership with FLB of Lievin,
manufacturer of a range of PVC products
for the construction, buildings and public
works markets. The group will continue
to develop the FLB manufacturing
operation and at the same time offer a
more complete range of products into
the French market.
Flexseal’s group managing director,
Tony Leyland, said: “These are bold and
exciting steps in the development of our
European markets. After establishing
ourselves as leaders in both Germany
and the UK, France is now also of great
importance to us. With the integration
of FLB into our group we now have a
bigger presence, a larger, more dynamic
team and a more complete range of
products.”
In Germany, Flexseal continues to
pursue development and innovation.
With a growing team and a growing
product range, the company is more
committed than ever to service, to quality
and to providing the industry with the
largest range of drainage and plumbing
couplings in the marketplace.
