We develop in-house products (private brand) that exactly match market needs, including pneumatic plumbing connectors and couplings, and connectors made of stainless steel.

We employ a fab-less manufacturing system. This system allows us to plan and develop own products in house and then have them produced by overseas manufacturers and plants on an OEM basis.

This new name, "Flobal", is a combination of "flow" and "global." It expresses our desire to be the world’s number one supplier of the plumbing parts and components including connectors, valves, and fitting metals for hoses. We, started as a mechanical parts processing shop in 1910 and we have now passed our 100th anniversary. We promise to continue to grow and become a significant player on a new stage.
