A family-owned company, Subec has a history that goes back three generations to its formation in 1985. With extensive experience as a quality manufacturer, Subec offers a wide range of equipment and solutions for the handling of products in the cable, hose, rope, steel, tube and wire industries. Recently it has an increased demand from the Scandinavian and British offshore industry. This has resulted in further development of the product range for the offshore industry. Subec guide systems are often used for transportation within the factories and between the factory and cable-laying ships. In close collaboration with the users, Subec has customised guide systems and straighteners for heavy-duty usage, often for harsh environments. In some offshore applications large diameter material needs to be guided long distances. For such applications Subec can offer basic and sturdy guide systems. At the other end of the range, where very precise guiding is needed, the development of Iris guide systems was pushed to the next level. The classical Iris design has a new model with 400mm opening and stayfast locking mechanism. For a UK customer a completely new design of a super strong Iris with a 450mm opening was developed and manufactured. This system was load-tested with 750kg during testing sessions.
