Why invest in Masterflex?

3.

2.

4.

5.

Masterflex is a medium-sized global market leader and therefore a clear growth stock.

  1. Masterflex is closely linked to its customers - but its broad positioning means that it is largely independent of customers and industries.

Masterflex is an established B2B brand and is perceived by customers and competitors as a technology leader (TOP100 Innovator, Global Market Leader 2021).

In particular, the markets already developed in the USA and Asia still offer disproportionately high development potential.

Acquisitions in line with the strategic guideline offer additional growth potential.

Masterflex is a clear pioneer in the digitalisation of hoses and connection solutions.
