Tom Parker becomes authorised distributor for Oetiker

Tom Parker has been appointed as Authorised UK Distributor for Oetiker, the Swiss-based connection technology specialist and inventor of the ear clamp. Oetiker’s products are renowned globally for their quality, durability and reliability.

Oetiker’s connection technology provides a dependable solution across many industries and applications, including automotive, aftermarket, industrial, plumbing, medical treatment lines, food and beverage, home appliances, irrigation and crop watering systems, and electric vehicle chargers. They are also commonly used with flexible and inflexible thin-walled, rubber and welding hose, plastic tubing and electrical cables.

The company has made a number of innovations over the years, introducing new technologies like the DualHook Adjustable 259 range, which features an internal StepLess smooth clamp. It provides additional flexibility and strength, so is perfect for use in demanding high-performance applications.

Another solution is the StepLess 167 series ear clamp, with a high Rockwell rating due to being manufactured in stainless steel. Oetiker has removed steps from the inside of the clamp to ensure a secure, smooth, leak-free seal, uniform 360° compression and continuous surface pressure around the clamp diameter.

Richard Parker, sales director at Tom Parker, comments: “Tom Parker is thrilled to be named the preferred supplier in the UK for Oetiker. The company has 80 years of experience in engineering reliable connection solutions and is synonymous with quality. We have formed a strong connection through working with Oetiker for many years and recommend their products without hesitation.
