Ruth met with founder, Geoff Wood; Purchasing Manager, Sharon Edge and Commercial Director, Emma Stewart at their Little Hulton factory (a 4,000sqft warehouse is based in Leigh).
Tec-Flo dual source all equipment, ensuring continuity of supply.
Their Mark 2 keg couplers (all 316 stainless steel) have a patented design, ensuring a vertical gas inlet position at all times.
Fob detectors designed and supplied by Tec-Flo (3 million thus far) are made from high impact acrylic, ensuring durability and sustainability. Their new fob detector, specifically manufactured for the US market, is half the size of the standard fob detector, providing an enhanced aesthetic to bars where the dispense system is showcased to the consumer.
The new under bar light transformer is reduced in weight from 2kg to 200gms, attaching to the bar via 3M heavy duty adhesive tape, ensuring installation is quick and easy.
Geoff demonstrated another new product, their 4-out, water cooler (R290), with a 17kg ice bank .
Emma, Geoff’s daughter, who has a long history of working in the business growing up, noted that quality was paramount to the company, with every component and piece of equipment tested before being boxed up to leave the factory. All regulators are tested for creep and old regulators replaced new for old (same replacement criteria applying also to fob detectors). All regulators contain a non return valve, ensuring no liquid can enter via mishandling by bar staff.
