Case Studies — Proven Performance
Fleet Retrofit — EU Logistics Operator
DERFLEX designed reinforced curtain-side tarps for a European fleet. The result was a 20% reduction in weather-related cargo claims and a 14% lower total cost of ownership due to extended service intervals.
Agricultural Packaging Partner — South America
A packaging distributor sourced UV-stabilized PE tarps for seasonal crop protection. DERFLEX optimized fabric weight and UV additives to meet local climatic conditions and extended field life.
Industrial OEM — Machinery Covers
A manufacturing OEM required machine covers with exact-fit patterns and flame-retardant treatment. DERFLEX supplied prototype samples, revised fitment, and delivered a 2-year supply contract after validation testing.
