Bash-P manufactures a wide range of lifting equipment to international standards. The company is a member of the Safety Marine Services group, established in 1993 to exploit the demand for services and equipment in the Middle East and Africa, and which offers crane testing and certification services.

Structure-flex, which will manufacture the bags, produces bulk packaging solutions to the world’s food, pharmaceutical, chemical and oil and gas industries, and is a leading supplier of lifting products. Its expertise in the manufacture of bags and bulk containers from sheet thermoplastic materials is ideally suited to the production of proof testing bags, which it already supplies to Europe and North America.
