PENFLEX AT A GLANCE

Founded in 1902, Penflex is a leading manufacturer of corrugated metal hose and braid products.

Penflex Corporation has been a pioneer from the very beginning and continues today to be a global leader in the design and manufacture of flexible metal hose, braid products and expansion joints

Penflex focuses on providing our customers with unparalleled value by offering high quality flexible metal hose and braid products, competitive pricing, on-time delivery, and superior customer service.

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 our Gilbertsville Pennsylvania headquarters, Penflex has a warehouse in Houston, while also operating as a wholly owned subsidiary, Penflex Vietnam, which supports customers around the world.
