Like many organisations, Moddex is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) developments very closely and planning to stay ahead of the situation & remain positive in the face of this global crisis.

Traditional modular handrail connectors tend to be large and industrial looking, and prone to dust and water entrapment that can lead to rust or contamination.
