Own production facility in Malaysia ensures quality
The Powertex Asia Pacific subsidiary of the HOYER Group has manufactured its 30,000th flexitank in Malaysia. For several years, HOYER has offered this mode of transport supplied from its own production plant to customers all over the world. The flexitanks are made from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and are suitable for transporting liquids such as food products and harmless chemicals in quantities from 14m3 to 24m3.
Flexitanks represent a cost-effective alternative to conventional tank containers. Designed for one-only use, they are particularly easy to handle but still robust enough to hold large quantities of liquids such as oil or wine. Significant volume saving per delivery is possible compared to intermediate bulk containers or barrels. Flexitanks are used in 20-foot containers, and the flexitank construction material is recyclable.
HOYER invested in a joint venture in Malaysia in 2010, with the site near Kuala Lumpur being fully owned by the HOYER Group since 2014. HOYER’s production facility with 23 employees in South-east Asia, enables precise quality controls, and now fabricates 700 to 800 flexitanks of various sizes per month. Due to this container production, HOYER can provide every customer with the optimum transport container.
General Manager of Powertex Asia Pacific, Eswaran Arunaselam said: “We expect an even greater demand for flexitanks in the next few years, and we are well equipped for it. The quality of our product is right, and we want to become a major player in this market.”
