Latex Threads of SA Pty Ltd T/A Hose Manufacturers
About
Hose Manufacturers SA (HMSA), trading under the registered entity Latex Threads of SA (Pty) Ltd, is a Cape Town-based manufacturer of layflat hoses that has operated since 1966. Originally founded by Yves and Elisita Steverlynck as a small business called Elasticos producing elastic threads for textiles, the company pivoted to layflat hose manufacturing and grew into a global operation with a production facility in Melbourne, Australia and distribution across six continents. HMSA holds BS6920:2014 and WRAS approval for potable water contact, NSF/61 certification for its Boreline product, ISO 9001:2015 certification, and manufactures fire hoses to SANS 1456 standards. The company's flagship Boreline is a flexible riser that replaces rigid steel pipe in submersible pump installations, offered with a 50-year warranty and NSF/61 potable water approval. The product range includes nine layflat hose lines — Boreline, DeepLine, Boreflow, Mineline, Readyline, Aqualine, Flexiline, Fueline, and Out & About — plus six fire hose models (Cobra, Firecheck, Forester, Fortex, Mamba, PolyZ). HMSA serves mining dewatering and shaft pumping, agricultural irrigation, municipal water utilities, firefighting, fuel transfer, and construction dewatering markets. The Fueline product is certified to MIL-PRF-370J Type C for anti-static fuel transfer. A comprehensive accessories line includes stainless steel and GRN couplings, wellheads, spoolers, and lifting clamps.
