What NRP Jones does

NRP Jones is a privately held US manufacturer of hydraulic, industrial, and oilfield hoses, fittings, and custom hose assemblies, operating from four facilities across La Porte (Indiana), Nephi (Utah), and Houston (Texas). Founded in 1945 as Screw Machine Products Company, the business consolidated its predecessor entities (SMP, NRP, and Jones Enterprise) under Main Street Capital Corporation ownership in 2011 and reorganized in 2023 under CEO Joe Kochan around sustainable growth, brand awareness, and product diversification. Its core products span SAE 100R-series hydraulic hoses, oilfield rotary/vibrator/frac hoses (Powerflex), specialty armored assemblies (Armor-Flex), a full range of hydraulic fittings and adapters, and crimping/cutting/test equipment; differentiated sub-brands include WearGuard cover technology and the Blu Finn marine fuel hose, and the company holds ISO 9001:2015, API 7K FSL 1/2, and USCG approvals.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B hardware sales of hoses, fittings, and assemblies via direct enterprise field sales, an inside-sales quote desk, the Partner Advantage Program for hydraulic distributors, a Hy-Tek division producing custom assemblies, and Amazon for pre-made SMB/long-tail configurations. Pricing is quote-based with high published minimum-order thresholds (e.g., $12,500 on rotary hose), and customers span oil & gas, agriculture, construction, distribution, transportation, marine, food & beverage, and military end-markets. The go-to-market is supported by content marketing, a downloadable technical library, the MyCrimp mobile spec app, and participation in industry events (NAHAD, FEMA).
