Kerr Engineering & Sales, Inc. has been the official manufacturing representative of Hyspan Precision Products since we opened our doors in 1983 ~ and we’re no less proud to represent their highly innovative and engineered products now, as we were then! Hyspan®, founded in 1968, matches our own philosophy of providing multiple solutions to the same challenge; offering a wide array of expansion joints, ball joints, gimbals and much more!
But it’s not just the range of products that separates them from their competitors, but the depth of their playbook! Need ball joints that are fully operational at ocean depths in excess of a mile? Done. An expansion joint to protect a long run of delicate piping that will go from ambient temperature to -321F in six seconds? No Sweat. Protect ALL of a hospital’s piped systems, when the location sits on an earthquake fault capable of +/- 36” of movement in all three planes? Lots of solutions! What about when the seismic joint needs to take +/- 24” of movement…but it has to be a totally in-line joint? Got it covered!
All of Hyspan’s product lines go the extra mile, for unparalleled performance. They are heavily involved and members of Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA) where they remain on the cutting edge of expansion joint development and testing.
Corporate headquarters and primary facility are in Chula Vista, California, with an additional NAFTA-compliant plant across the border in Tijuana, Mexico, and Universal Metal Hose (a Hyspan subsidiary) located just outside Chicago, IL. Their Chula Vista plant includes engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, inventory, and testing facilities.
