From its dedicated warehouse and distribution site in Christchurch, Dorset, Polyhose supplies customers all over the UK with world-class Thermoplastic, PTFE, Rubber Hydraulic, Industrial, Composite, Stainless Steel, Flexible hoses and Fluid Connectors.

With ambitious growth plans for 2025 and beyond, Polyhose needed to create additional warehousing space to accommodate a broader range of products and increase the depth of its UK stock holding.

Marc Whibley, Managing Director at Polyhose UK, commented: “We were delighted to welcome guests to celebrate the opening of our new warehouse with our staff. It has been incredible to see our vision for the new space come to life, and we can’t wait to reap the benefits for our business and our customers.”

Chris Butcher, Managing Director at the BFPA, added: “It was a pleasure to be invited to the official opening of the new Polyhose warehouse and to meet their hardworking team. The new building is fantastic and is an excellent example of the investment our members are making in the £1.5+ billion UK fluid power industry.”

At the event, Martin Kingsbury, Director of Membership & Training at the BFPA, and Chris Butcher presented Polyhose UK with a certificate congratulating them on 40 years in business. The company was initially incorporated in 1985.

Polyhose worked with Dorset manufacturer Mar-Key Group on the warehouse installation. Visiting the site, Dorset Chamber Chief Executive Ian Girling remarked: “Dorset has a vibrant and exciting business community. It is a pleasure to visit projects like this and see Chamber members working together to deliver economic growth.”
