Safety First During Our Fibreglass Sleeve Production

When we created our Easysleeve System at our site in Cheshire, our primary aim was to ensure its safety. We’re happy to report that it remains the safest tapered system available on the market worldwide.

In addition, thanks to our no-slip guarantee, the mandrels are designed and manufactured to ensure that exact specifications are met and the sleeves fit correctly. Our design ensures that sleeve loading and removal are easily achieved and the sleeves will not slip due to improper fitting.
