Some of the products such as brake fluid are corrosive and require specialist materials that can cope with the harsh environment.
Reliability – machines need to be reliable, as parts are not readily available in the local market place for repairs.

Our relationship with Universal Filling Machine Company is built on trust. We know that when we order a machine from them it will arrive at our factory on time and will work straight out of the box. Our staff are familiar with their range of machines so we can maintain them ourselves locally. The machines are simple and rugged which is ideal for our environment which can be harsh.
