Air-Way Canada – Pacific Hose & Fittings Division Corporate History
Pacific Hose & Fittings was formed in 1977 by Wally Duncombe to supply high quality hose, fitting and accessory products to the Western Canadian market. The company’s culture was built on a solid customer service-oriented foundation and always remained loyal to its customer and supplier partners. The company grew rapidly in the Vancouver region by adhering to these core principles. We opened our branch in Edmonton, Alberta in 1992.
In 2001, Pacific Hose & Fittings was purchased by Air-Way Manufacturing Company, one of the leading global manufacturers of hydraulic adapters. Air-Way was formed in 1950 and maintains longstanding supply relationships with premier OEMs such as Caterpillar, John Deere, CNH, Kubota, Volvo and many others. Air-Way’s corporate headquarters are located in Olivet, Michigan with adapter production facilities in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Shandong Province, China that support the global expansion of our OEM customer partners.
