Our Vice President and resident Hose Man, Stephen Vill, brings over 35 years of industry knowledge to Industrial Hose. Having first started at the age of 19, Steve worked in Elizabeth, New Jersey alongside his brothers learning the trade. There, he was taught not only about hoses but also v-belt, adhesives and bonding, and hand making gaskets and other rubber products. To further his education, he attended both Weatherhead and Boston Industrial Hose Schools.
After years of versatile work, he developed an ability to service all aspects and applications. His years of coming across it all has developed his unmatched ability to visually identify even the most complex assemblies. Keeping with the times by perpetually self-educating himself with the most current applications, he can troubleshoot and identify the best solution to meet your needs while continually meeting today’s safety requirements
Vice President & Hose Man, Stephen Vill
Growing tired of the city life, Stephen and Patricia Vill uprooted their family and moved to their favorite vacation spot, Milford, PA. From there, Industrial Hose was incorporated in 1996 and opened doors in 1997.
Outgrowing their original, Milford-based shop in 2006, Industrial Hose relocated to the newly constructed Shohola facility where they expanded not only the warehouse, but also services offered. Now nestled in the woods only 5 miles from I-84, the family-operated staff at Industrial Hose serves clients in over 30 states. Today, they are still the area’s go-to hose professionals. Industrial Hose is a woman-owned, full-service hydraulic and industrial hose company distributing the industry’s most dependable name-brands specializing in individually tailored assemblies.
