COVID-19 UPDATE
March 24, 2020
As Harris and surrounding counties issue "Stay At Home Orders" we want to assure you that we will be here to assist you with any of your needs. Houston Hose & Specialty Company, Inc. is considered an "Essential Manufacturer or Distributor" per the Guidelines related to “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers” published by CISA (Cyber-Infrastructure Security Agency) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as we provide critical service to the Food, Beverage, Process, Chemical, Public Works and Pharmaceutical Industries in response to the COVID-19 Declaration of National Emergency issued by President Donald J. Trump on January 20, 2020.
We at Houston Hose & Specialty, a Women Owned Small Business, family operated since 1975, are doing our best to be socially responsible and ask for flexibility in finding safer ways to communicate as we attempt to exercise “Social Distancing” as per C.D.C. recommendations.
We have made the decision to close Our Counter Sales Department and although our Will Call is currently open, we ask that you remain in your vehicle and contact us by telephone at (713)641-0901 and we will make arrangements to have your material loaded without person to person contact.
If you need a quote or to place an order please call us at (713)641-0901, send us a fax at (713)641-2385 or email us at one of the following email addresses with any needs you may have.

We continue to see minimal disruption to our supply chain and do not foresee this changing anytime soon as we have a very broad and diverse supply chain to ensure we maintain inventory at our usual levels. Our delivery, shipping, and manufacturing departments will continue to function as normal, but with added measures to avoid unnecessary risks of exposure.
Houston Hose and Specialty is dedicated to keeping our employees, customers , vendors and families healthy during this pandemic and we ask that you continue to follow the guidelines issued by the C.D.C and W.H.O. when visiting Houston Hose & Specialty and that you do not visit our facility if you are currently or have recently experienced a fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath; have traveled, or been in contact with anyone who has traveled outside the United States; or if you have interacted with anyone who has been diagnosed as “Presumptive Positive” Or “Positive” for the COVID-19 Virus. We are doing our best to keep our facilities safe by sanitizing surfaces several times daily, practicing "Social Distancing" and monitoring our employee’s health throughout each day to be sure that this virus does not affect us or our families.
