Product offeringCore offering
HUSCO International designs, develops, and manufactures hydraulic and electrohydraulic control components and integrated subsystems for automotive and off-highway equipment OEMs. Its core product portfolio includes the MX Valve Platform (modular sectional control valves), GenSteer™ fail-functional steer-by-wire system, EHPV proportional valves, INCOVA hydraulic control technology, solenoid cartridge families (F/H/M-Series), Exacto digital machine control, and ruggedized controllers with HusLink Toolbox software. The company also manufactures transmission solenoids, variable oil pump controls, cylinder deactivation systems, and - following its 2026 Mayfair Plastics acquisition - precision injection-molded automotive plastics.
Product overview
HUSCO International is a privately-owned company specializing in hydraulic and electro-mechanical control systems for Automotive and Off-Highway applications. The company operates two core divisions: Husco Off-Highway (customized hydraulic solutions for agricultural, construction, material handling, and commercial equipment) and Husco Automotive (electro-hydraulic and electro-mechanical components for electric, hybrid, and internal combustion vehicles). The product portfolio centers on the MX Valve Platform (modular sectional hydraulic control valves including MX07-MX25 variants), GenSteer™ (fail-functional Steer-by-Wire system), E-Control solutions (digital-to-hydraulic conversion), and cartridge families (F-Series, H-Series, M-Series). Supporting products include Controllers with HusLink Toolbox for MATLAB/Simulink integration, Exacto digital machine control, EHPV proportional valves, driveline technologies, and various automotive components (cylinder deactivation, variable oil pump control, transmission solenoids). Following the 2026 acquisition of Mayfair Plastics, the company now offers in-house precision injection molding capabilities. The portfolio also includes Husco AMG for manufacturing systems and spans both on-highway and off-highway markets with global manufacturing in the US, UK, India, and China.
