INTRODUCTION

Developing the Hose Product Group

Hoses have been part of the Neoperl portfolio, but mostly as a traded

item, for many years. A key supplying partner for Neoperl from the early

60’s onwards is Parigi Industry in Italy, a well-known manufacturer of

supply hoses, with Mr. Cesare Parigi accredited for being the ‘father’ of

the flexible braided hose.

In the year 2000, Neoperl acquires the company PRIO FLEX A/S in

Randers, Denmark, which is known these days as Neoperl Nordic.

With this acquisition, Neoperl enters the world of hose production.

Neoperl introduces the SOFTPEX

®

inliner for its connecting hoses

in 2003 and has since focused on further developing and evolving this

high-quality, reliable product.

A key milestone occurs in 2011 with the foundation of Neoperl Far East

in Hong Kong following the acquisition of RM-Flex in Xinhui, China.

This new factory enables Neoperl to offer global reach and support to our

international customer base.

In 2013 Neoperl acquires Industrias Mateu S.A., a recognized quality

producer of supply hoses based in Spain with another production plant

in Bulgaria, which gives Neoperl a footprint in Eastern Europe.

Throughout the years, Neoperl continues to establish a strong partner-

ship with Parigi Industry S.r.l. and completes acquisition steps in 2014

to bring them into the Neoperl family.

Today, the Neoperl Group has hose production sites in seven locations

worldwide, with production capacity exceeding 100 million hoses per year.

With a dedicated, highly qualified staff – true experts in the field –

Neoperl plans to continue to service the global plumbing industry with

innovative, technical, high-quality hose products.

ALWAYS ABOUT THE FLOW!
