In-House Tooling for Faster, More Precise Hose Development

In 2021, Leyland Hose & Silicone established a dedicated in-house tooling and precision engineering facility in South Wales, strengthening our ability to design, develop and manufacture bespoke silicone hose solutions with greater speed and accuracy.

Operating as LHSS Precision Engineering, this facility plays a critical role in supporting both new product development and ongoing production, giving us complete control over the tooling process.

Accelerating Bespoke Hose Development

By bringing tooling in-house, we have significantly improved the way custom silicone hoses are developed.

This enables us to:

  • Simplify and streamline new product development
  • Reduce lead times for bespoke and production orders
  • Provide greater flexibility for custom specifications
  • Deliver faster turnaround from concept to finished product

For engineers and OEMs, this means a more efficient, responsive process, without the delays often associated with outsourced tooling.

Rapid Prototyping: Samples in Just 2 Weeks

We understand that speed is critical during development.

Our in-house capability allows us to produce one-off bespoke hose samples within as little as 2 weeks, enabling customers to:

  • Review and validate designs quickly
  • Accelerate development timelines
  • Make informed decisions earlier in the process

This removes the need to wait weeks or months for initial samples, helping projects move forward with confidence.

Bespoke Silicone Hose Solutions

We have developed and manufactured a wide range of custom silicone hoses, tailored to specific application requirements across multiple industries.

Recent projects include specialist hoses designed for the fuel cell and advanced energy sector, where precision, performance and material specification are critical.

Our team can support:

  • Complex shapes and geometries
  • Custom sizes and configurations
  • Specific material requirements (including specialist linings)
  • Colour and branding requirements

No matter the application, we focus on delivering a hose that is engineered to perform in its intended environment.

Supporting Engineers from Concept to Production

Our precision engineering facility allows us to work closely with customers throughout the development process, from initial concept through to full-scale production.

This ensures:

  • Accurate interpretation of requirements
  • Efficient development cycles
  • Consistent quality across all orders

Why Our In-House Tooling Matters

  • One-off samples available within 2 weeks
  • Improved lead times on bespoke and production orders
  • No restrictions on custom hose requests
  • Greater flexibility and responsiveness
  • Enhanced service and support for customers
