Gollmer & Hummel GmbH

Gollmer & Hummel GmbH, established in 1872 in Straubenhardt, Germany, is a fifth-generation family-owned manufacturer of industrial pressure hoses with over 150 years of continuous operation. The company maintains approximately one million meters of hose inventory across its product lines and sells exclusively to business customers and commercial traders. The core product range centers on layflat pressure hoses in two material families: polyurethane (PU) flat hoses, noted for dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, and ply separation resistance; and rubber-lined flat hoses, offering supple flexibility and small bending radius. Both types are woven and feature UV and ozone resistance. Named products include the GH TITAN ATTACK fire hose and the GH HILCOFLEX OIL multi-purpose fuel hose. Gollmer & Hummel serves nineteen distinct application sectors, including drinking water supply, fire department and wildfire suppression, slurry and manure transport, irrigation (drip systems and pivot/traveller feed), mining drainage, well riser lines, construction, compressed air, fuel transport, disaster relief and military, snow cannons, roof graveling, concrete and mortar, sewer rehabilitation, and aeration for fish farming and sewage treatment plants. Supporting tools include an online pressure loss calculator, a chemical resistance database, and a hose sample ordering service. The company traces its origins to founder Friedrich Gollmer, who hand-wove 1,500 meters of hemp hose in the founding year.
