What Hose Assembly & Supply does

Hose Assembly & Supply Ltd is a Jamaican privately-held industrial distributor founded in March 1987 by Managing Director Vivian Grant. The company began as a two-person operation at 37 Molynes Road in Kingston, initially focusing on automotive hoses and fittings, and has since grown to a workforce of over 62 employees serving customers across Jamaica through three offices located in Kingston and Montego Bay. The business operates under two primary divisions: H.A.S. Industrial & Automotive Sales & Services and H.A.S. Petroleum Equipment and Supplies, the latter operating for over 15 years.

The company distributes a catalog of 16,656+ products spanning hydraulic and industrial hoses, fittings, couplings, lubrication equipment, welding equipment, battery charging equipment, hand tools, and petroleum equipment such as fuel dispensers, nozzles, filters, and tank sumps. Hose Assembly & Supply serves as the main Jamaican distributor for several international brands including Eaton-Weatherhead/Aeroquip, Dixon, Gates, Lincoln, Gray Tools, Ampro, Norco, Harco, Bennett, and Gilbarco. The company also operates two fully equipped mobile workshops that provide on-site hydraulic troubleshooting, system reassembly, and consultancy services delivered by in-house hydraulic experts. No proprietary technology, patents, or external funding have been disclosed.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales and one-time product transactions, with publicly visible unit pricing on its WooCommerce-based e-commerce storefront ranging from approximately JMD $16.87 to JMD $23,508.30 per item. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with on-site technical consultation for verticals including petroleum and gas stations, mining, construction, manufacturing, agriculture and food production, and automotive, alongside direct-to-customer e-commerce transactions. Ownership is concentrated with the founder who continues to serve as Managing Director, and the business is entirely concentrated in the Jamaican domestic market.
