On August 31, the joint venture between HOBAS Pipes International and Amiantit Europa was concluded with the creation of new company AMIBLU® Holding GmbH. The venture brought together two different technologies under the same roof: pipes are manufactured using either continuous filament winding – brand name FLOWTITE – or centrifugal casting – brand name HOBAS. Both companies also manufacture moulded parts (e.g. tanks, couplings) and NC pipes (non-circular pipes).
