Revenue model

1. Fluid Transfer Products (Hoses, Fittings, Expansion Joints): Pacific Hoseflex generates revenue primarily through the manufacture and sale of engineered fluid transfer products including metallic hoses (VITALFLEX®), non-metallic hoses (rubber, PTFE, composite), fittings, couplings, expansion joints, and piping systems. Products are sold directly through an e-commerce storefront and via RFQ/quote process, with pricing varying by specification, size, material, and pressure rating. The company operates on a project and order-based model, fulfilling both standard catalogue items and custom-engineered solutions.
2. CNC Custom Machining and Fabrication Services: Fabflex CNC machining division provides custom machining (milling and turning) and fabrication services for precision components. Revenue is generated through billable machining time and custom fabrication projects, serving clients across aerospace, defence, automotive, medical, and general manufacturing sectors.
3. Custom Fabrication and Engineering Services: Additional revenue streams include custom welding fabrication, custom spool fabrication, onsite mobile welding, engineering and design drafting, NDT testing, and pipe work/hose installation services. These professional services complement product sales and are delivered by certified technicians.
