Hyspan has designed and manufactured products for scientific research facilities and defense projects for both foreign and domestic customers since the company’s founding.

Since the company’s beginning in 1968, Hyspan has not only specialized in the fabrication of metal bellows and hose, but the fabrication and development of assemblies that incorporate these components. Hyspan is staffed with engineers experienced in product design, manufacturing engineering and process engineering to support this development.
