The founder’s perspective

Fluids can spend up to 90% of production time in the reservoir.

The feed system is key to consistent production and to preventing part failures and reworks.

From the SR-TEK founder’s account

What we do

WHAT WE DO

Our purpose is to provide the most compatible equipment to the market and to our customers, which is why the range keeps developing rather than sitting still.

Feed systems, not just tanks
From a standard pressure tank to a complete automated system — the vessel is specified around what the fluid has to do, not the other way round.
Low to medium viscosity fluids
Adhesives, resins, inks, solvents, coatings and formulations: the fluids that punish a badly chosen reservoir.
Two decades in dispensing
The team came out of precision fluid dispensing, which is where the limitations of the equipment upstream of the dispenser became obvious.

Where it started

HOW SR-TEKSTARTED

From engineering in France to fluid dispensing in the UK: the experience behind SR-TEK.

France → England
Engineering, electronics and fluidics
My story begins in France where I learned engineering, electronics and fluidics. From a young age I have always been interested in learning how things work, to better understand them and look for possible areas of improvement. After three years in England — a country with an incredible engineering heritage that I fell in love with from day one — working for small engineering companies, I joined the EFD division of Nordson as an application specialist.
Ten years at Nordson
Technical, product and sales roles across Europe
During my ten years in the organisation I occupied various positions including technical manager, business development manager, product manager and sales manager for Europe.
The customers
Where the knowledge came from
Working with organisations like Becton Dickinson, GSK, Denso, Delphi Diesel Systems, Bosch, Jaguar and Nissan, and with supply chain businesses in the medical, electronic and aerospace sectors, I developed a deep knowledge of precision fluid dispensing and its challenges.
The realisation
The weakest part was upstream
My focus at the time was on dispensing, but I came to realise that one of the biggest limitations in most manufacturing setups was the feed system. Often these were no more sophisticated than a glorified paint pot — yet with fluids spending up to 90 per cent of production time in the reservoir, it is absolutely key to consistent production and to preventing part failures and reworks.
