At Mandals, we have a long tradition of sourcing local resources. For years, we have been using local river water in our production facility, ensuring sustainable and efficient manufacturing of our world-class lay-flat hoses.

Now, we are expanding our local commitment even further! 👏

By teaming up with local divers from Mandal, we have developed a new, patented method to weave the reinforcement, the heart of our hoses, using sustainably sourced 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗽 from the Mandal coast! This incredibly strong maritime fiber is woven into a seamless textile jacket in our shuttle looms before the final extrusion process.

Not only is it 100% biodegradable, but after usage, you can simply leave the Seaflex in the water, and it will harmlessly decompose within days. 💧

This hose is engineered for all maritime applications! From supplying oxygen to local salmon farms to reinforcing deep-sea exploration, the Mandals Seaflex delivers unparalleled strength while having a distinct "salty" feel that your hands will love. ⚓

Ronny and Mokhtar from our weaving department have already mastered the art of handling the new kelp fiber, and are loving the natural flexibility it brings to the looms!

At 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘀, we are known for our world-class lay-flat hoses and circular shuttle looms, found in over 77 countries. But none of this would be possible without the dedicated team that shows up every day to innovate, weave, and produce at the highest level.

Today, we are celebrating International Waffle Day – because even the most hardworking team needs a little extra fuel! 💪

While the production line is running at full speed, our finance department has stepped up to the plate. A huge thank you to Arnhild and Arne for trading their spreadsheets for waffle irons today. 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

Our HR & HSSE Director, Linda, has been busy making sure everyone throughout the factory gets a taste, delivering freshly baked waffles to our hardworking colleagues on the production floor.

Great to see the smiles on Aurora, Steinar, Trude, Kim, Bjørn-Kristian, Vegard, and the rest of the Mandals team as they enjoyed a well-deserved break!

We believe that a strong work environment and the well-being of our employees are the foundation of our success. Taking a moment to share a laugh and a waffle is just a small part of what makes the culture at 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘀 so special. 🤝

Happy Waffle Day from all of us on the southern coast of Norway!

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭𝟵𝟮𝟳 𝘁𝗼 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 ⚓

Fullriggeren Sørlandet is the world’s oldest operational full-rigged ship. As a sailing classroom for the A+ World Academy, she carries 72 students across the Atlantic, teaching them leadership, grit, and maritime skills. On a ship where heritage meets education, safety is the first priority.

We are proud to support this cultural icon with 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘅 – our high-quality, lightweight firehose. 💧🔥

Last year we received a greeting from the Atlantic, where 2nd Mate Karen M. Christensen shared their experience using Mertex during their monthly safety drills:

"The hoses are great. They are easy to work with, especially around corners because the friction is much lower than with rubber hoses. They are also easy to pack tightly, so they don’t take up much space."

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘅 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀?

✔️ Space-Saving Design – In tight quarters like a historic ship or a modern refinery, every centimeter counts. Mertex packs flat and tight.
✔️ Low Friction, High Flow – The TPU inner lining ensures maximum water flow and makes the hose easier to maneuver around sharp corners and obstacles.
✔️ Extreme Durability – Built to last for decades, Mertex is resistant to delamination and carries the MED certificate and Wheel Mark for marine services.
✔️ Reliable in Any Climate – From the tropics to the arctic, Mertex is engineered to perform without weakening.

At Mandals, we have been manufacturing textile firehoses since the early 1900s. Seeing our modern Mertex protecting a ship from 1927 is a powerful reminder that quality truly stands the test of time.

In addition to the flexible 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘅, our range also includes 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗺𝗮𝗻 – our world-standard type 3 hose designed for maximum abrasion resistance in demanding industrial environments.

Safe travels to the crew and this year's students as they head towards their next destination! ⛵
