Our Products

Foster is a specialty distributor of industrial hose, fittings, and related components, as well as a light assembler of those products. This involved both the distribution of the products from the manufacturers we represent and light assembly work.

The assembly work consists of customizing a product to a customer’s requirements. The vast majority of this work is the fabrication of air, hydraulic, fuel, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and other industrial hose assemblies.

Hose Testing & Certification

Foster Hose & Fittings Inc. is proud to partner with OnGuard™ Asset Management to provide industry-leading hose testing, certification, and asset management both in-house and on-site. Through this partnership, we help you identify and address high-risk assets before they become costly failures, ensuring the safety and reliability of your operations. More than just testing, OnGuard™ Asset Management gives you a proactive approach to hose maintenance, allowing you to track, manage, and replace assets before they become liabilities.

FDA 3A Certified Assembly Center

FDA Certified hoses and components don’t necessitate an FDA Certified assembly. Often companies assembling FDA hoses rely on the certification from the manufacturer but are not certified FDA assembly facilities. Foster Hose knows the need for a complete FDA compliant system. We have gone the extra mile and are one of a handful of FDA certified hose assembly centers.

About Us

Foster is more than just a specialty distributor of industrial hose, fittings, and related components – we’re a problem-solving team dedicated to meeting our customers’ unique needs. Our light assembly work includes customizing products to meet specific requirements, with a particular focus on fabricating air, hydraulic, fuel, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and other industrial hose assemblies. In addition, we specialize in creating customized hose assemblies for the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. At Foster, we take pride in going above and beyond for our customers, and we’re excited to continue doing so for years to come.

Serving Customers for Nearly a Century

Foster Mechanical Equipment Company has a rich history that began in 1927 when Lee & Angie Graham founded the company as an industrial hose products supplier in St. Louis, Missouri. Since then, Foster has undergone multiple relocations to better serve its customers and stay on the cutting edge of the industry. Today, Foster is stronger than ever, having been acquired by the Singer Company in 2018 to expand its network of specialized rubber hose distributing and fabricating facilities. We’re thrilled to be a part of this vibrant network and to continue to deliver high-quality products to our customers.
