History about Isiflo
Isiflo
In 1969, engineer and inventor Arvid Helland appealed to the RA if it wasn't interested in buying his patent laws on his self-developed joint assembly for plastic pipes.
The point joint held the trademark ISIFLO and the patent was in 16 countries either already registered or pending. Before that, Press- Støp of Larvik had the product licensed for production and sale in Scandinavia of ISIFLO brass couplings since 1965. For aluminium couplings in dimensions from 75mm up to 160mm, the holder of the licence was Vendex A/S Ørje.
