The Challenge

Custom Fittings have a duty of care to their customers, which they take seriously. Damaged internal and external threads, and flanges, can result in leakage, and depending on the application, it can also result in a dangerous environment. To keep their customers safe and minimise loss of revenue, it’s critical, then, to protect those components with caps at every stage of the parts’ journey, including packaging, distribution and storage.

The solution

For 35 years, Essentra Components have worked with Custom Fittings to ensure they have a range of caps at their disposal. As Custom Fittings has grown, so, too, have their needs. Essentra Components have been there for them every step of the way, providing reliable, hassle-free service with a depth of solutions.

No one else is able to offer them their colour choices, straight off the shelf. The quality of the caps ensure they stand up to the job. This in turn creates customer satisfaction, which is the main measure of success.
