Introduction
Starting in 1871 in Hanover, Germany, Continental originally specialized in technical rubber products such as pneumatic tires and hot water bottles. Over the decades, it has expanded into multiple products and industries, establishing itself as a leader in innovation and quality. At Northern Metalic, we have been partnered with Continental when it comes to hose and hose fittings for several years. Here are some interesting facts about Continental products and how they can provide solutions to your hose needs.
Hose Construction
The main difference in hose constructions is the type of reinforcement. Hoses have been produced in the same way for decades, only with the level of automatization increasing. Different types of reinforcements have certain advantages or disadvantages. For more details on the different types of hoses and their reinforcements, visit our products page.
