What Pneumatic and Hydraulic Company does

Pneumatic and Hydraulic Company LLC (PHC) is a privately held industrial distributor and systems integrator headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, founded in 1959 and operating branches in Broussard and Geismar, Louisiana and Katy, Texas. The company distributes 50+ leading fluid power brands across pumps, valves, cylinders, compressors, fittings, filtration, and motion control, serving industrial customers in oil & gas, aerospace & defense, renewable energy, construction, food & beverage, and municipal sectors. Its roster of named customers includes ExxonMobil, Chevron, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Schlumberger, Lockheed Martin, SpaceX, Blue Origin, the U.S. Air Force, Bechtel, and Phillips 66.

PHC's revenue model combines hardware distribution margin across stocked components, custom-engineered systems (hydrostatic testing systems, hydraulic control panels, wellhead control panels, hydraulic power units, pump skids), repair and field service (Haskel Certified Service Center), equipment rentals, and a hydrogen energy division. The company has invested in custom engineering capabilities and maintains a $10M+ inventory across its brand portfolio, with 24/7/365 emergency service availability as a key retention mechanism for industrial customers.

The Total Hydrogen Solutions division, established in 2016, leverages PHC's legacy high-pressure systems expertise to deliver hydrogen production, compression (up to 15,000 psi via Haskel Q-Drive and H-Drive platforms), refueling stations (NANO, NANO Pro, and containerized GENO configurations), and fuel cell integration. In March 2026, Total Hydrogen Solutions became the fifth global Core Partner of Enapter AG, integrating AEM electrolyzer technology and the AI-powered CoreKraft digital platform into U.S. market hydrogen systems. GSR VENTILTECHNIK also named PHC exclusive U.S. partner for hydrogen valves to 1,000 bar, positioning the company across the hydrogen value chain.
