Otto Pflitsch set the course for the new product segment cable glands, which were soon sold in Sweden and the Netherlands as well. The revolutionary cable gland "Opeco“ quickly turned into a success. By 1956, further metal hose glands had been developed such as the hose connection “Capri-tube” and the “SVD-hose gland Dicht”.
