Wibe Group introduces Wibe Flex - a complete range of modular support solutions in steel for corrosive environments
Fast, flexible, and future-proof: Wibe Flex raises the bar for reliable support in stainless and galvanised steel in onshore and offshore energy, chemical plants, power stations, coastal installations, telecom, and other demanding industrial sectors.
Wibe Group, a leading provider of cable support solutions with almost 100 years of know-how, expands its comprehensive portfolio with Wibe Flex; a complete and easily adaptable support system with endless possibilities for maximising available space and providing shared fixing points for different disciplines.
Wibe Flex is designed from the ground up to offer engineering, procurement, and construction contractors (EPCs,) specifiers and owners a cost efficient and future-proof support system for their installations.
What really sets Wibe Flex apart from other support solutions is the intelligent design of the entire system, down to each single part.
From the versatile profiles to vibration proof connections with locking bolts and flange nuts, a variety of easy-to-mount fixing brackets, and flexible bracing joints, Wibe Flex reduces cost and installation time without compromising on weight, load bearing capacity or torsion strength.
