WESTFALIA Metal Hoses GmbH

We are the global market leader in the development, production, and supply of highly flexible metal hoses and gas-tight decoupling elements for the commercial vehicle industry and selected industrial sectors.

As a company steeped in tradition with a history spanning more than 115 years, WESTFALIA Metal Hoses, headquartered in Hilchenbach, has developed into an internationally renowned group of companies with additional locations in Czechia, the USA, and China.

While competitors manufacture decoupling elements as bellows using the hydroforming process, WESTFALIA Metal Hoses relies on a unique technological approach. The result is the gas-tight GTH hose, whose thin-walled, helically welded profile offers superior flexibility as well as mechanical and torsional strength. What’s more, it not only meets current emission requirements, but also those of the future.

The GTH forms the basis for customized assemblies: bent pipes, thermal insulation, and corresponding connection technologies complete the highly complex exhaust pipes, which are developed in close cooperation with designers from almost all international commercial vehicle manufacturers.

WESTFALIA Metal Hoses actively accompanies and supports the dynamic changes in the automotive industry, including the ongoing development of alternative drive systems and mobility concepts. The innovative team is breaking new ground and is actively involved in the development of forward-looking solutions.

In order to strengthen its position in existing markets and at the same time successfully advance into new business areas, the group of companies is pursuing further strategic approaches. A concrete example of this are high-quality flexible pressure hoses that are specially designed for industrial applications. The products are not only characterized by first-class performance, but also guarantee maximum reliability and durability.
