In 2002, driven by a vision to offer an “Alternative” in the hose and fitting industry, John Fuller established Alternative Hose near the intersection of the 91 and 57 freeways, strategically positioned for easy access across Southern California. Starting in a modest 5,000-square-foot warehouse with a lean team and ample optimism, the company, through commitment and innovation, expanded to four locations, including a 22,000-square-foot facility in Anaheim. Notably, Alternative Hose pioneered industrial hose crimping in Southern California and introduced the groundbreaking FullBump system to safeguard camlock fittings.
