About Jakob Eschbach
The Jakob Eschbach GmbH is a family-run business now in its third generation with over 70 years of experience in the manufacture of flat hoses. At the Marsberg site, all products are manufactured fully through-woven – from the selection of raw materials to the finished end product – so that every production step takes place under seamless quality control in the company's own factory. The portfolio includes DIN-certified fire hoses, tear-resistant and weather-resistant pressure hoses for industry and construction up to 1,000 meters in length, agricultural hoses and drag hoses with high abrasion, UV and chemical resistance as well as odor-neutral and taste-neutral drinking water hoses. The drinking water hoses are approved according to KTW, DVGW and WRAS. Production takes place exclusively in Germany ("Made in Germany"); approximately 5 million meters of flat hose are produced annually. In addition to hose manufacturing, the company offers integrated technology solutions for automation and process efficiency with SmartSolutions and delivers worldwide.
