Tiefenbach North America

What Tiefenbach North America does

Tiefenbach North America, LLC is a Morgantown, West Virginia-based manufacturer, designer, and supplier of hydraulic components serving primarily the underground mining industry, with additional reach into oil and gas, general industrial, and OEM customers. Founded in 2000 (originally as Hydrosource Fluid Power), the company was built around German-engineered hydraulic control technology from Tiefenbach Control Systems GmbH, initially focused on longwall roof support controls for underground mining. The product portfolio spans six core categories: hydraulic hoses (up to 10,000 psi working pressure, in sizes from 3/16 inch to 8 inches with multiple connector types), adapters and fittings, hydraulic valves (longwall dump valves, check valves, pressure relief), electronic controls, filtration systems, and hydraulic accessories. Hose assembly, hydraulic repair, and service capabilities are performed in-house across five US locations (Morgantown WV, Charleston WV, Winfield AL, Macedonia IL, and Price UT).

The business model is sales-led B2B industrial distribution, combining hardware sales (resale and assembly of partner-manufactured components from 14+ named suppliers) with professional services (in-house hydraulic repair). The company positions its repair and 24/7 customer support as a means of lowering total cost of ownership over product lifetime, creating an installed-base relationship with customers. Core technology is sourced primarily from two German manufacturing partners (Tiefenbach Control Systems GmbH and Knapheide Hydraulics GmbH), with the US entity providing sales, assembly, distribution, and service. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with industrial B2B norms. Customer contact is routed through [email protected], suggesting a back-office or ownership relationship with Swanson Industries, though this affiliation is not formally stated. The company has 11-50 employees, is privately held, and has not disclosed funding, M&A, or leadership changes.

Core offering

Tiefenbach North America manufactures, designs, and supplies hydraulic components including hose assemblies, adapters, valves, filtration systems, electronic controls, and hydraulic accessories for industrial applications. The company complements its product supply with in-house hydraulic repair and service capabilities, providing 24/7 customer support across five US locations serving mining, oil and gas, industrial, and OEM customers.

Product overview

Tiefenbach North America offers a comprehensive portfolio of hydraulic components and systems for mining, oil/gas, industrial, and OEM applications. The product lineup centers on six core product categories: Hoses (for hydraulic, water, air, suction/discharge, and specialty applications up to 10,000 psi), Adapters (Steck-O, SAE-JIC, O-ring Boss, Quick Disconnects, Camlock, and other fitting types), Valves (Longwall dump valves, check valves, solenoid valves, pressure relief valves), Electronic Controls (shield controls, wireless remotes, sensors, cables), Filtration Systems (automatic and manual backflush filters, cartridge filters, strainers), and Hydraulic Accessories (spray nozzles, flow/pressure measurement, hose restraints). These products are complemented by in-house hydraulic repair and service capabilities. The company originally specialized in hydraulic controls for longwall roof supports in underground mining and has expanded to serve broader industrial markets.
