Just an update for those interested. S&K Performance is doing a wonderful job with our local customer base, Joel has continued the tradition of offering custom automotive hose designs for all of you automotive, performance, and hydraulic plumbing needs. They and Joel can always be reached at S&K Performance, 995 E Los Angeles Ave, Simi Valley, CA 93063. As for me, Jonny Orme, it took me just a little longer to find the right fit. For those of you looking to find that same great automotive, performance, and hydraulic custom plumbing, I will be starting a new chapter in my life just outside Dallas TX, with a great company called Hose Fast Hydraulics. Like Orme Brothers, they are a family owned, multi generational company specializing in hydraulic hose assemblies from your standard forklift and tow truck single wire hydraulic hoses through 3" super high pressure 6-spiral hoses. From custom tube bending and custom brake hoses. We also offer a full line of vinyl and pvc industrial pressure and vacuum hose up to 6" vacuum hose for vacuum trucks. We offer a full line of PTFE hose and fitting as well as your traditional stainless steel and nylon braided hose, and a complete line of aluminum hose ends and adaptors. We also offer the same custom knowledge. of power steering systems, hydra-boost systems, cooler (oil, water, trans, and rear end) hose rebuilds and nearly ever other hose and fitting combination to satisfy your fluid conveying needs, no matter what they may be. We also offer 46 weight hydraulic oil in 5 gallon pails or by the pallet. Hose-fast also offers complete hydraulic cylinder repair and replacement in our hydraylics shop.

After 80 years, three generations, and services from a gas station in the 1940's to the custom hose and fittings today, we have always sought to provide the community of Northridge, CA and our national customers the best customer service possible. All of you have made an impact in our lives. This Christmas Season we wanted to take our last opportunity to say Merry Christmas and thank you for all the years of patronage. December 24, 2024 is the final day of Orme Brothers Inc. as we are closing the doors for good. Life moves forward, each of us takes on the challenges ahead of us.

We recognize that this may come as a surprise to many of you, especially those of you who have been in recently and haven't been talked to on an individual basis. We have purposely not shared this information wide as to not leave misunderstandings of the path forward. S&K Performance in Simi Valley has acquired all of the existing inventory, machinery, customer history, accounts, custom specs, and phone number.

As of 1/1/2025 the phone number (818) 885-1414 will switch to the new company S&K Performance and will no longer be under the name Orme Brothers Inc. Along with the acquisition of Orme Brothers Inc. we are happy and proud to announce that Joel will moving to S&K Performance full time running day to day operations. Everything that was available to our wonderful customers, including the years of product knowledge will be available at S&K Performance.

As a customer you can expect more on hand inventory, and expanded services. S&K Performance will be working closely with it's sister company, Schneider's Automotive, to creating a true one stop shop for your automotive plumbing needs. From leaking hoses to plumbing upgrades, customers will no longer have to find a third party to do removal and installation. S&K Performance will be offering the same quality products from the same quality vendors. From Wilwood Engineering Brake Systems, to fuel systems from Edelbrock, Aremotive, and Magna-fuel, from hydraulic hose from the top vendors in the market, to hydraulic adaptors from Brennan Inc, Tompkins Ind.

Thank you for supporting our family at Orme Brothers Inc. for so many years. I (Jonny) wish all of you the very best in all your future endeavors. It has been my pleasure to provide you the very best I have to offer, year in and year out.

When you buy products from small businesses you should know a few important things.
1) your business is appreciated. We know that there are other options. We know that while we are always competitively priced there will always be times we simply can’t match the bottom line price of Amazon or a mail order super warehouse.
2) remember why you chose to do your business with a small business. You came to that business because you wanted to be treated like an individual. You wanted to be remembered by first name. And you wanted to be treated like you were just as important as the biggest customer even when buying one or two small pieces.
3) what you might give up in a little pricing, you gain in individual service. Do you have the cell phone number of the order taker at Amazon, at jegs, at summit? Will they answer a question on a Friday night at 11:00pm? Will they get out of bed at 2:00am and meet you at the shop for that one last fitting that means the difference between making the next race or not?
4) when you don’t pay your bill on time, small businesses feel it. We don’t have money in reserve, your payment goes to pay the vendor that supplied that small business the products to fulfill your order.
5) offering “terms” is something we do because there is an industry expectation. We prefer you pay for your products when you receive them or when you order something that is not regularly in inventory. So, when you are offered “terms” net 15 doesn’t actually mean net “whenever it’s convenient”. Your non payment means less product on hand and the potential loss of the next customer.
6) the last thing we want to do is chase down money. It creates conflict with the very customers that make us the great company we are. Asking for an update on payment for product you’ve already received is not our bad, you are responsible for your bills. If you can’t pay, have the courtesy to respond, with the truth, we don’t send people to collections we want to keep your business, just be up front. Allow us to work with you.
7) expertise, you came to a small business because you wanted someone to help you create, refine, or resolve a project. If you knew exactly what you were going to need it would make sense for you to simply order it from the least expensive source. At, Orme Brothers, Inc., or any other small business you choose, you often come in hoping that we can make something work that others have told you there’s no way. We offer a combined 60 years of experience in our industry. We’ve built our own cars, worked on our own heavy equipment and have the knowledge to solve problems from a number of different sources, we are good at what we do and we hope it shows.

Starting Tomorrow 4/9/2020, Orme Brothers Inc. will begin the new distancing policies as prescribed by the city and county of Los Angeles. This means, only three customers will be allowed in the show room at a time, all others will be asked to wait a safe distance from each other outside the building. We will have one door for entry and one door for exit to limit the person to person exposure between our valued customers. Also, beginning 4/9/2020 we will require all customers entering the show room to be wearing a mask or facial covering. We will still be willing to help those without coverings but will do so through the safety of the glass door. Thank you for your years of patronage. Together we will make it through these unique times and we will be back to helping our customers with our regular face to face contact.

As we continue to battle these times as a community we continue our commitment to stay open and available to assist our first responders and other essential businesses.

You can also order through our website: www.Ormebrothers.com and use offercode: Corona for a 35% discount as our way of thanking you for supporting small businesses through this economic crisis.

***** SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES ********

Many small businesses exist on shoe string budgets. With the continual rise in cost of overhead with insurance, licensing, and taxes, coupled with payroll and utilities, so many of us in the small business world have significant expenses before we even open the doors for business each day. When emergencies happen we are often the first to feel the hit and the last to recover. Those of us in the automotive aftermarket industry are highly susceptible to changes in the economy as we are dependent on discretionary income. The first thing people stop spending money on is their toys (cars, boats, sandrails etc.) and those toys are the last thing they start to spend money on once the economy rebounds. Instead of making another mad dash to Costco today for better's chance at more toilet paper than one family could possibly use in the next 18 months, ask yourself, "Have I checked on my local businesses to see if they are open?" Is there something you've thought about buying but didn't get around to it? Trust me, any additional orders in this time of limited quarantine are going to be highly appreciated by the small businesses doing their very best to keep their employees working as long as possible and as long as it is safe for them to do so. Starting at noon today (pacific time) we will be offering a 35% discount on all orders via our website under the category HOSE AND FITTINGS with offercode: CORONA. We already offer free shipping on all orders over $100, and that can be used with the Corona offercode.

Please visit our website at WWW.ORMEBROTHERS.COM and use offercode:CORONA for a 35% discount on all items under the HOSE AND FITTINGS category.

Call us with any additional questions or help with custom setups. We will honor that 35% offer on phone orders when you mention the offercode:CORONA or this post.

Custom and Production Hose and Fittings for Industry and Performance. Specializing in Brakes, Fuel, Oil and production assemblies.
