Nu Flow partners with Flow-Liner
Nu Flow, a global leader in innovative green technologies for in-place pipe restoration, has entered into an exclusive distribution partnership with Flow-Liner, which specializes in sewer and water supply line rehabilitation. Nu Flow and their channel partners will be distributing the full range of Flow-Liner’s products.
During the 2009 Licensee Summit held in Phoenix, AZ, Cameron Manners, Nu Flow CEO commented: “It is my pleasure to announce the distribution of Flow-Liner’s Inversion, Neofit and Pipes-Down-Under applications by Nu Flow. Flow-Liner is known in the industry for their cost-effective solutions and the partnership complements our expanding services.”
With the addition of the Flow-Liner products, Nu Flow and their channel partners now offer trenchless and no-dig alternatives from the water main to the tap, from the drain back to the sewer main or storm drain system, and across various other plumbing systems including HVAC and fire-suppression systems. “With our extended product options,” added Manners, “We can deliver cost-effective solutions optimized for a given system.”
Nu Flow will serve as the exclusive distributor in the United States for the Inversion and Pipes-Down-Under solutions. The Inversion technology enables the rollout of an epoxy-saturated liner from a single entry access point – it cures-in-place inside the host pipe to form a strong permanent structural liner. The Pipes-Down-Under solution offers an effective alternative to digging and replacing damaged pool plumbing. Nu Flow will serve as the exclusive distributor in the United States excluding the Southeast for the Neofit solution. Neofit is a versatile service pipe relining system that is a cost effective solution for the renovation of service pipes suffering from water quality problems and leakage. 800.834.9597, www.nuflowtech.com
