Why Antwerp needs chain couplings
Europe's largest integrated chemical cluster and its second-largest port. Couplings absorb shock and misalignment between motors and driven equipment; their rubber elements and gear teeth wear and are replaced during planned shutdowns.
Belgium hosts Europe's largest integrated chemical cluster at Antwerp and major pharmaceutical plants, making it a key gateway into the EU.
