What Vydraulics does

Vydraulics designs, manufactures, assembles, commissions and maintains hydraulic motion and control solutions for industrial customers across Europe and select international markets. The group operates as an integrated platform of wholly-owned subsidiaries — Vapo Hydraulics NV, Doedijns b.v., Vremac Cylinders BV, Nubé Hydraulics BV, Koppen & Lethem Ltd, Vydraulics France and the Sypack brand — with 300+ technical specialists across Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK and France. The company is led by CEO Steven Vangeersdaele and dates back to 1879.

The product portfolio spans standard and custom hydraulic cylinders (up to 1,000mm bore, 12,000mm stroke, 700 bar working pressure), complete hydraulic systems (hydraulic power units, valve automation, fuelling systems, hydrogen systems up to 1,000 bar), heave compensation (Maxine, 30-550 tonnes dynamic load), hydraulic swivels, piston accumulators, and precision-machined manifolds. Manufacturing is anchored by 12+ CNC machines including seven five-axis DMG and Mazak mills and a climate-controlled 3D metrology room. Vydraulics holds class society certifications from DNV, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, ABS, RINA and RMRS, plus ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 3834 and VCA, with ATEX-rated products and full material traceability via cylinder passports.

Revenue is generated through a mix of engineered-to-order (ETO), make-to-order (MTO) and configure-to-order (CTO) projects, hardware sales of cylinders and a 50+ brand component portfolio (HAWE, Sun Hydraulics, Haskel, HydraForce, ACE, Versa, Wika, Scanreco), and 24/7 service and repair contracts. Distribution combines direct consultative field sales with channel partners (Koppen & Lethem for Des-Case in the UK; HM Technics and SEDIAP for service in West Flanders; Power Jacks for Benelux standard products) and online configurators for standard cylinder and fuelling system selection. The customer base is enterprise and government across offshore & dredging, maritime, heavy industry, defence, infrastructure, (renewable) energy, transport & loading, and hydraulic industry verticals.
