About Us

Orme Brothers was founded by Ray, Joel, and Verl Orme, in September, 1944 as a Union 76 service station in the quiet little rural town of Northridge, California. Mostly orange groves and dirt roads, Northridge boasted celebrity homes and ranches of Walter Brennan, Monte Montana, Barbara Stanwick, Jack Oakie, and many others in the early days of Hollywood. Northridge, the center of the San Fernando Valley with one and one-half million people is now the sixth largest city in California if a city in itself.

Two new generations of family are now involved in the business. Evolving through the automotive industry for over 50 years, the automotive parts are gone and Orme Brothers, Inc. is now a full service hose and fitting company. Our evolution thru the industry gives us a unique understanding of each performance and industrial plumbing situation. As in all industries today, technology has shaped our day to day approach to high performance and industrial applications. At Orme Brothers Inc, management and staff are committed to the latest technological advances and 'state of the art' products to insure that our customers receive the best products and technical assistance available in our industry.

Orme Brothers Inc. assures that the representative that you talk to has extensive knowledge of hose and fittings appearance, function, and advantages vs. disadvantages. This knowledge is gained as each new employee at Orme Brothers works their way up the corporate training ladder. New employees begin with simple tasks designed to familiarize them with all aspects of the plumbing world long before they become part of our sales staff. Orme brother's employees are able to offer suggestions and solutions to your plumbing needs. We are often quoted saying, "We are not practicing on your individual problem, and we've done this before."
