The ERIKS engineers and product specialists cooperate intensively with maintenance specialists and mechanical engineers in the industry. This gives us profound knowledge of the products and their applications and enables us to help our customers to resolve the technical challenges on site. Our market know–how also allows us to develop new customized solutions and techniques with our key manufacturing partners for improved sealing and therewith creating cost savings for our customers.
