About Truex

Truex was founded in 1976 to provide a reliable source of couplings for the garden hose industry. Since then, Truex has grown to be a world-wide supplier of industry standard ferrules, hose couplings and a manufacturer of precision deep drawn stamped parts. Our products are fabricated from aluminum, brass, copper, steel and stainless steel.

We conduct all of our stamping, drawing, annealing, assembly, and metal finishing in our 40,000 square foot plant, located in RI. Our equipment includes stamping and transfer presses, heat treating and annealing furnaces, assembly equipment, and material finishing production lines; from which we produce over one million pieces each day.
