COMPANY HISTORY.

Dura Hose & Fittings Ltd was established in 1984 with the aim of servicing and supplying the distribution industry with industrial rubber hose. The company was originally based in South Manchester but due to rapid growth re-located to larger premises in 1990.  The move to North Manchester enabled the company to increase its stockholding of hose and improve its service to customers. The larger stocks of hose helped continue the company’s development as a major UK Industrial Hose supplier. During the 1990’s it was necessary to take on a second warehouse enabling the company to further increase the stock and range of hose held and allowed investment in new swaging equipment in our assembly shop and test facility. In 2007 the company took on a third warehouse to accommodate the increasing range of hose that is held in stock

The Dura Hose sales team has a combined total of over 150 years experience in this industry and is therefore able to offer a wide degree of expertise and technical advice to all our clients.

Our main supplier of hose is Tubithor SPA of Italy with whom we have had a very long and successful association. Tubithor have two factories in Italy producing industrial long length and mandrel built hose as well as a range of profiles and extrusions. A third factory is currently under construction which will further increase their hose production capability.

In 2004 Tubithor bought a controlling interest in Dura Hose to complement their recently opened distribution depot in Barcelona, Spain. This strategic move has helped Tubithor to increase its market share in mainland Europe and the UK.

In August 2011 Dura Hose & Fittings moved in to a brand new 18,000 sq.ft warehouse & workshop facility which will enable the company to continue supplying hose & assemblies to the ever increasing demands of the market.
