Penflex

Founded in 1902, Penflex is a leading manufacturer of corrugated metal hose and braid products. While flexible metal hose was first produced in Europe in the late 1880’s, it was not until years later that it was manufactured in the United States – and Penflex was the very first manufacturer of flexible metal hose in America. Penflex Corporation has been a pioneer from the very beginning and continues today to be a leader in the design, and manufacture of flexible metal hose.

Within the area of corrugated flexible metal hose Penflex remains committed to the traditional manufacturer-distributor relationship – a unique approach that allows Penflex to form lasting relationships with distributors, relationships that go beyond just the product. Penflex focuses on a continuous process of improving our manufacturing processes and is dedicated to providing distributors with unparalleled value by offering high quality flexible metal hose and braid products, competitive pricing, on-time delivery, superior customer service and cutting-edge industry expertise.

Known for their durability and superior resistance to corrosion, Penflex hoses are used in more than 15 vertical markets, by hundreds of companies worldwide. In addition to its Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania headquarters, Penflex maintains stocking warehouses in Chicago, Illinois; Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; Santa Fe Springs, California; and Venlo, the Netherlands. These satellite warehouses permit prompt deliveries to Penflex customers.

Penflex corrugated hose products are available worldwide through selected distributors. Penflex views distributors as partners and does not sell this product directly to end-users.
