The firm supplied its gaskets to the Vauxhall Motors car plant in Ellesmere Port. Dantec was also a distributor of third party products, including composite hose. The firm began manufacturing composite hose in 1978. In 2002 Dantec remodelled its business to focus on manufacturing and selling composite hoses. This process was managed by current managing director John Laidlaw who was brought into the firm in 2001 to help rationalise the business. Post 2002 the firm focused greater energy on exports which have increased from 25pc of product sales in 2001 to 70pc in 2011.〔http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/ldpbusiness/business-local/2012/10/11/safety-first-for-hose-firm-dantec-aiming-for-global-expansion-99623-32004600/〕 In 2004 Dantec founder Dan Davies sold the company to his brother Eric Davies. In 2010 John Laidlaw was joined by co-directors Jon Loach and Derek Connolly in a management buy-out of the company backed by private equity firm Maven Capital Partners. The purchase was completed in September 2011.〔http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/ldpbusiness/business-local/2012/10/11/safety-first-for-hose-firm-dantec-aiming-for-global-expansion-99623-32004600/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dantec (company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
