Industry-leading hydraulic hose solutions certified to EN, SAE and ISO international standards — widely adopted across Irish construction, agriculture, and industrial sectors.
Ireland's robust industrial and agricultural economy drives steady demand for high-performance hydraulic hoses across multiple critical sectors.
Ireland's booming construction sector — fuelled by large-scale infrastructure projects such as the National Development Plan and Dublin Metro — relies heavily on high pressure rubber hoses for hydraulic excavators, piling rigs, concrete pumps and mobile cranes operating across urban and rural sites throughout Dublin, Cork, Galway and beyond.
With over 135,000 farms across the Republic of Ireland, agriculture remains a cornerstone of the economy. Modern tractors, slurry tankers, bale wrappers and combine harvesters depend on ISO-compliant hydraulic hose assemblies to withstand the damp Irish climate and the demanding pressures of year-round farmland operations.
Ireland's extensive Atlantic coastline and growing offshore energy sector — including wind farm installation vessels and subsea inspection equipment operating out of ports such as Foynes, Cork and Galway — demand ultra-high-pressure spiral hoses with exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion, UV degradation and wide temperature fluctuations.
Ireland ranks among Europe's top wind energy producers, with hundreds of onshore and offshore turbines installed nationwide. Hydraulic pitch control systems, brake circuits and yaw drives within each turbine require premium high-pressure rubber hoses rated to EN 856 4SH/4SP standards to ensure reliable, maintenance-free operation in Ireland's challenging coastal wind environments.
Ireland hosts a large number of multinational manufacturers — from pharmaceutical plants in Cork and Limerick to food-processing facilities in the Midlands. High-pressure hydraulic hoses and precision seals are essential components in automated press lines, robotic assembly systems, and CNC machining centres operating under strict hygiene and safety standards.
Ireland's railway modernisation programme — including Iarnród Éireann rolling stock upgrades and the planned DART+ network expansion — requires IRIS-certified hydraulic hose systems that comply with railway-grade standards. Our SAE 100R5 IRIS-certified hoses are purpose-built for the vibration, temperature extremes and fire-resistance requirements of modern rail applications.
Understanding where the industry is headed helps Irish buyers make smarter procurement decisions for long-term operational reliability.
The EU's Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU) continues to impose stricter certification requirements on hydraulic hose assemblies sold in Ireland and across the EU. Manufacturers and distributors must demonstrate full traceability, material compliance and burst-pressure testing to meet CE marking obligations — a trend driving demand for certified, documented supply chains like ours.
As Irish construction and mining equipment operates at ever-higher working pressures — routinely exceeding 400 bar — the market is transitioning from traditional single or double wire-braid hoses toward multi-spiral constructions such as SAE 100R9, EN 856 4SH and 4SP, which offer superior impulse fatigue resistance and longer service life in demanding Irish field conditions.
Driven by Ireland's Climate Action Plan 2024 and EU Green Deal commitments, there is growing interest in bio-based rubber compounds, recyclable hose constructions and low-VOC manufacturing processes. Kelong New Materials is actively investing in eco-friendly elastomer formulations to align with the sustainability expectations of Irish procurement teams.
Irish industrial operators are increasingly adopting IoT-enabled condition monitoring systems that track hose temperature, pressure fluctuations and micro-leakages in real time. This trend is accelerating demand for hoses with embedded sensor-compatibility and standardised end fittings that integrate seamlessly with SCADA and Industry 4.0 digital platforms used widely across Irish manufacturing plants.
Post-Brexit logistics disruptions have prompted many Irish procurement managers to re-evaluate their supply chains. The preference has shifted toward suppliers who can offer bonded stock in EU warehouses, short lead times to Irish ports and comprehensive technical support — areas where Kelong's global distribution network and agile manufacturing capacity deliver a decisive competitive advantage.
Irish maintenance engineers are increasingly requesting matched hydraulic seal and hose assembly kits to simplify storeroom management and ensure material compatibility across entire hydraulic circuits. This bundled-solutions approach reduces downtime, minimises ordering complexity and improves system-wide sealing performance — aligning perfectly with Kelong's integrated product portfolio of hoses and precision seals.
Shaanxi Kelong New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 1996, which grew from Xianyang Kelong Rubber Products Institute.
It is a technological innovation company integrating R&D, production and sales, concentrating on hydraulic seal sets, high-pressure hoses, coal mine auxiliary transportation equipment, repairing services, technological services and more. Our products have been widely applied to coal mining, civil aviation, high-speed railway, engineering machinery, wind power and other industries.
The company is among the top three in the domestic coal machine sealing industry, and high-pressure rubber hoses are expected to reach the top three within two years. The main products hold an 8% share in the domestic market. The high-quality products and services are trusted by customers all over the world — including a growing network of Irish and European buyers.
