An apparatus for manufacturing a tubular product, includes a winding station for winding a substrate component and a reinforcement element in a helical path to form a reinforced tubular product, and respective apparatus for feeding the elongate substrate component and the elongate reinforcement element to the winding station. A first severing device cuts the reinforcement element upstream of the winding station, whereupon delivery of the reinforcement element upstream of the cut is withheld for a predetermined time period that results in a segment of the tubular product without the reinforcement element. A second severing device severs the tubular product within the above said segment to provide the predetermined length of the tubular product.
