The beginning
Heliflex Tubos e Mangueiras, S.A. was born from the necessity of a new hose to suck water from wells.

During an exhibition about agriculture in Paris, a partner of the enterprise Henrique Vieira e Filhos, Lda (Henrique Simões Vieira) met the A.G. Petzetakis Group S.A. (Greek) which had the wished hose. The multinational wanted to have a representative in Portugal. The seed was scattered for growth. On September 1, 1969, the Heliflex Portuguesa (Tubos Flexíveis), Lda was born (the current Heliflex Tubos e Mangueiras, S.A.).

However, during a congress in Athens, which the former administrators Acácio Vieira and Anselmo Santos took part in, a new idea was born: the creation of a productive unit. It became a reality on January 1, 1971. It was the most prominent moment of this reliable and ambitious project.

From that moment on, Heliflex has progressively introduced several types of products in the market. These products are always characterized by quality which is Heliflex`s way of being, assuring its leadership in the market.

Present situation

Due to the growth of the market and also due to the market`s competitiveness, Heliflex felt the necessity to invest in products with a stronger technological component. It enlarged its offer and it insured and consolidated the quality of its products. The qualification of the employees was also a main concern for Heliflex. This continuous and sustained growth of Heliflex allowed by a strategic administration was showed through the penetration of Heliflex into several markets and with the opening of five branches: Heliflex Angola (December, 2008), Heliflex Mozambique (August, 2009), Heliflex Sud America (September, 2009), Heliflex Brazil (April, 2010) and Heliflex Morocco.

After 44 years, we can say that Heliflex was a good shot! Nowadays, Heliflex has its own place in the market and its quality is recognized not only in the national market but also in the international market, due to its dedication and effort. Heliflex is also recognized by the standard ISO 9001: 2008 (since December, 2009). However, the Heliflex quality process of certification began in 1990; in May, 1998 was certified by ISO 9002; in April, 2000 by ISO 9001 and in March, 2002 by ISO 9001: 2000.
