Blueserv, the service brand of Augsburg-based machine and plant manufacturer Hosokawa Alpine, and Swiss company Rico Sicherheitstechnik are cooperating in the area of service, as both companies focus on the needs of their customers. Blueserv's service specialists are trained and certified by Rico. Only then are they authorised to carry out the mandatory annual service work on Rico's Ventex® explosion protection valves. This is the only way to guarantee the safety of the system. Rico Sicherheitstechnik is further expanding its international service network with this cooperation. Founded in 1988, the Swiss company is recognised as a pioneer in industrial explosion protection, whose components effectively prevent the spread of explosions in industrial plants.
