About ABA: A Legacy of Clamping Excellence

In 1896, the Swedish company Allmänna Brandredskapsaffären AB — known as ABA — was founded by Knut Edwin Bergström with sales and production of fire materials. Over more than a century, that heritage of precision engineering evolved into something the industrial and automotive worlds rely on every day: world-class hose clamps. Since 1896, ABA has been joining forces for industries around the world — safely, reliably, and efficiently.

The jewel in the crown of NORMA Group, ABA, with its iconic blue housing and design, is the brand globally synonymous with excellence in clamping. In 2006, through the merger of ABA with the German company Rasmussen, NORMA Group was founded, and since then the ABA brand and the well-known ABA hose clamp have been an important part of NORMA Group's product portfolio.

What Makes ABA Hose Clamps Different?

ABA's engineering philosophy centers on protecting the hose while delivering maximum sealing force. ABA Original clamps feature an extra-strong one-piece pressed housing, rolled-up band edges, and a smooth band underside that protects the hose — and thanks to an integrated clamping force reserve, each clamp resists breaks and ensures a safe seal connection while being gentle on the hose and reducing the risk of leakage.

ABA Nova and ABA Original Aluzinc worm-gear clamps use a one-piece housing with rolled band edges and a non-perforated band to protect hoses from damage, and are manufactured from Aluzinc for corrosion resistance up to three times higher than galvanized steel, providing high clamping force and long-term performance in demanding environments.

The ABA lineup spans a wide array of configurations to meet the needs of automotive technicians, marine professionals, and industrial users alike. Whether you need the versatile Hose Clamp for general-purpose applications or are sourcing specialized Hose Clamps built for high-stress environments, ABA offers a solution engineered to perform.

Applications Across Industries

ABA's products are used in industries such as automotive, aviation, construction, and shipping, and for purposes such as cooling, emission outputs, hoses, water pipes, and sterile pharmaceutical production. With its unique safe seal technology, ABA is an excellent fit for even the most demanding applications.

ABA represents the flagship brand in the NORMA Group, and over the years has built up a strong and loyal following around the world due to the outstanding quality of its products. From under the hood to offshore marine installations, ABA clamps are trusted wherever a secure, leak-free connection is non-negotiable.
