Back to the roots of NORHAM: The FLEX-SEAL® coupling
The FLEX-SEAL® coupling originated in California in the 1950s.
At this time, a massive surge in new infrastructure projects greatly increased the demand for pipes and pipeline accessories.
In order to respond to this growing demand, the plumbing company GARRETT PLUMBING started manufacturing pipes out of clay: MISSION Clay Company was born.
Mr GARRETT then created MISSION Rubber Company to offer a solution to the “new” connection problems:
The design of a flexible coupling, allowing pipelines of different materials and diameters to be connected, was launched.
Today, 100% of the manufacturing of the original FLEX-SEAL® coupling takes place in our factory in St Donat-sur-l'Herbasse in NORHAM (France).
NORHAM has owned the FLEX-SEAL® multi-material coupling trademark since 1989.
Since then, NORHAM continuous improvement of the quality of the range through innovation, such as:
the use of TOX® technology, to connect stainless steel components without using spot welds.
and the CLIP-IN, a system to hold shear bands and clamping bands in place.
