Products for the Chemical Industry
In chemical manufacturing, the reliability of industrial fluid conveyance products is critical for consistent and high-quality production. Cross Company recognizes this critical need and delivers custom solutions tailored to the unique demands of chemical processing. Whether it’s hydraulic hose for controlling manufacturing equipment, tubing for delicate mixtures, or any other fluid conveyance needed, Cross can help.
Control over processes is also of critical importance. Incorrect readings or poor process control can lead to a subpar product, or (in the case of chemical manufacturing specifically) can even create hazardous conditions in the workplace. And either of these can result in unplanned downtime and significant loss of production time (and thus revenue). At Cross, we work with you to ensure that doesn’t happen. Through our strategic partnerships with industry-leading manufacturers of chemical manufacturing products, we’re able to provide our customers with the products they’re looking for quickly and consistently.
From safeguarding against chemical corrosion to addressing specific pressure requirements, Cross Company is committed to delivering complete solutions that contribute to the reliability and efficiency of chemical manufacturing processes.
