Static sealing company Flexitallic UK has made an appointment as it looks to expand its business capabilities with a new product range.

Garry Yarker, who has more than 16 years' experience, has been appointed as product manager for the new slip plates, spectacle plates and special flanges range, and is based at the service centre in Middlesbrough.

The safety devices are installed between pipe flanges and provide flexibility during repairs and scheduled maintenance.

They are largely used in the oil and gas, petrochemicals, offshore and water treatment sectors.

The products are produced at Flexitallic's UK's manufacturing facility in Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire and the business is now considering making an additional investment in its new North East Service Centre in Middlesbrough to create additional fabrication facilities.

Sam Bradley, UK sales director, said: "Flexitallic are committed to helping its customers operate their process plant safely and efficiently. The addition of slip and spectacle plates, along with other machined metallic components allows us to enhance our offer.

"Garry was specifically recruited to launch this new product line and his considerable experience and knowledge of the product, both in manufacturing and operational installation, improves the technical offering that Flexitallic provides.

"This not only provides an additional service to both established and new customers across the UK but, given the level of interest, I'm confident it will quickly develop into an important new income stream."

Yarker added: "I'm fortunate to have gained experience across multiple aspects relating to both slip plate and gaskets. I've had the opportunity to support customers with identification, measurement, design and manufacture of gaskets and slip plates both on customer sites as well as in house.

"I enjoy helping customers overcome challenges and providing insight into solutions is a major motivation for me.

"I also have extensive knowledge of industry specifications but understand the ultimate importance that materials must be manufactured to high standards and delivered on time. I'm delighted to bring this expertise to Flexitallic UK."
