What We Do
UK Manufacturer of Pneumatic Couplings & Hose Assemblies
Kee Connections is a UK-based OEM manufacturer specialising in the design, engineering and manufacture of compressed air couplings, connectors and hose assemblies.
We supply both standard and custom components designed to integrate into industrial pneumatic systems, supporting OEMs, maintenance teams and equipment manufacturers.
Our capability covers the full lifecycle of a component:
- Design and engineering
- Manufacturing and assembly
- Testing and verification
- Packaging and supply
Product Design & Engineering
We develop quick release couplings, plugs and connectors for compressed air and fluid transfer applications. This includes both new product development and modification of existing designs to suit established standards or installed systems.
Design work typically involves defining materials, sealing arrangements and dimensional requirements to ensure reliable connection performance, airflow characteristics and long-term durability in service.
OEM Manufacturing
Manufacturing is carried out to controlled specifications, ensuring consistency across production batches and repeatable performance in use. This applies equally to standard catalogue products and custom-engineered components.
We support both low-volume specialist requirements and higher-volume OEM supply, including ongoing production programmes aligned to customer demand or maintenance schedules.
Bespoke Hose Assemblies
Custom hose assemblies are built using compatible couplings and connectors selected specifically for the application and operating conditions.
Assemblies are configured to match required hose types, connection interfaces and overall system layouts, ensuring reliable integration into existing pneumatic infrastructure. This supports both replacement of existing assemblies and the development of new installations, where consistency, compatibility and long-term serviceability are required.
Testing & Verification
All products and assemblies are verified prior to dispatch to confirm correct operation and sealing performance under expected working conditions.
Where required, testing is aligned to application-specific criteria to ensure components perform reliably within compressed air systems.
Quality & Traceability
Manufacturing and assembly processes operate with full component traceability, allowing consistent reproduction of parts and supporting long-term supply of replacement components.
This approach ensures continuity for OEM customers and simplifies maintenance and servicing requirements.
Call-Off & Stock Holding
Stockholding and call-off ordering services provide a reliable supply solution for repeat requirements. Products can be held at our UK facility and released against agreed schedules, helping to reduce lead times, support production planning, and ensure product availability when needed.
UK Manufacturing & OEM Support
All products are designed and manufactured in the UK, providing control over quality, specification and lead times. Our engineering team supports customers with component selection, system compatibility and ongoing supply requirements.
