TESTIMONIALS

“From a Hydraulic IPT perspective, Detroit Flex Defense (DFD), is meeting all of the stringent performance requirements with their newly produced hose product that were levied during the DFR design phase. During the DFR Phase, DFD completed a hose material manufacturing line installation, product start up and an entire series of development tests on the performed  hose without failure. The DFD hose product incorporates lightweight, high pressure, abrasion resistance and formable features into one product which out performs our legacy hose product.”
