About Kanaflex: 60+ Years of Excellence
Founded in the 1950s in Osaka, Japan, Kanaflex Corporation began as a manufacturer of PVC pipes before evolving into a world leader in flexible hose technology. Over the decades, the company pioneered the development of flexible PVC spiral hoses and later introduced corrugated HDPE pipes, setting new standards in the industry. Known for their advanced extrusion technology, Kanaflex hoses are lighter, more flexible, and more durable than conventional designs.
The company’s American subsidiary (Kanaflex Corporation USA) was established to serve the North American market and now operates major facilities across the country. Its U.S. headquarters and primary manufacturing plant are in Vernon Hills, Illinois, complemented by a West Coast manufacturing facility in Compton, California. Kanaflex also maintains a large distribution center in Houston, Texas, ensuring efficient product supply and support for customers nationwide.
