Internet, electronic catalogues, electronic orders, TradCom. These are things that are becoming more of a part of our daily trade. The success of e-business is determined by easy accessibility of data, actuality and the efficiency of finding the correct product. That is why our products are classified and recorded consistently by referencing.Product configurator controls standardization

With our product configurator, flange gaskets are designed and part numbered faster, easier and more consistently. To keep the description plain and consistent ERIKS works from now on with standard indications for various basic shapes and types of bar configurations. Some changes do occur here.The main changes in article descriptions:
