Holmatro

What Holmatro does

Holmatro is a Netherlands-based manufacturer of high-pressure hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechatronic equipment, founded in 1967 and headquartered in Raamsdonksveer with a second manufacturing facility in the United States. The company operates two divisions: Rescue Equipment — serving fire and rescue services, law enforcement, and military units through product lines including the Pentheon battery-powered cordless rescue tools, CORE single-hose hydraulic tools, OmniShore shoring systems, Positive Pressure Ventilators (PPV), pneumatic lifting bags, hydraulic jacks and wedges, and breaching tools — and Hydraulic Solutions, serving industrial lifting, heavy lifting and transportation, railway rerailing, cutting, and offshore wind applications with hydraulic cylinders, pumps, skidding systems, and dedicated wind-energy equipment. Proprietary technology platforms include the single-hose CORE hydraulic system (registered), the patented OmniLock and Trident Coupler shoring components, the Pentheon mechatronic drive with Bluetooth connectivity via the MyHolmatro app, and Inclined Cutting jaw geometry.

The company generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of specialty rescue and industrial hydraulic equipment, with pricing conducted on a quote basis rather than public list pricing. Go-to-market is executed exclusively through an authorized dealer network of 125+ dealers across 136 countries and 400+ business partners reaching 160+ countries; these dealers provide local demonstrations, training, and after-sales service and are regularly re-trained at Holmatro headquarters. Holmatro does not disclose customer-level revenue concentration but its mix spans government agencies (fire, police, military), motorsport series (FIA-sanctioned circuits, IndyCar as Official Supplier), and enterprise buyers in civil engineering, wind energy, and rail. The firm holds six iF Design Awards including a 2025 Gold Award, supports the Holmatro Rescue Challenge as a community/training engagement, and as of June 2026 operates as a subsidiary of Sentorum while continuing its two business units from its existing manufacturing footprint.

Core offering

Holmatro manufactures and sells high-pressure hydraulic rescue equipment and industrial hydraulic tools. The company operates two divisions — Rescue Equipment (battery- and corded-powered rescue tools, shoring systems, lifting bags, and positive pressure ventilation fans) and Industrial/Hydraulic Solutions (high-pressure hydraulic tools for industrial applications). Products are sold to professional end-users in fire and rescue, law enforcement, military, motorsport, and industrial sectors through a global dealer network.

Product overview

Holmatro offers two main business units: Rescue Equipment and Hydraulic Solutions. Rescue Equipment provides high-pressure hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechatronic tools for rescue teams, law enforcement, and military applications. The core product lines include the PENTHEON Series (battery-powered cordless rescue tools with Bluetooth connectivity) and CORE Tools (hose-based hydraulic rescue tools with revolutionary single-hose technology). Supporting products include OmniShore shoring systems, Positive Pressure Ventilators (PPV), pneumatic lifting bags (HLB/HSB series), hydraulic lifting equipment, breaching tools (T1, HDO100, Door Rams), and rescue assist equipment. The Hydraulic Solutions division serves industrial applications with products including hydraulic cylinders, pumps, skidding systems, rerailing systems, and industrial cutting equipment. Both divisions share common battery platform technology (Pentheon batteries power tools across both Rescue and Hydraulic Solutions), and products can be monitored/configured via the MyHolmatro app. The company operates from manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands and US, serving customers in over 160 countries through a network of 400+ authorized business partners.
