Core offering

Hydro Leduc designs and manufactures high-pressure hydraulic components, including fixed and variable displacement piston pumps, fixed and variable displacement hydraulic motors, hydropneumatic accumulators (piston, bladder, cylindrical welded, spherical), micro-hydraulic components, and electro-hydraulic groups (GEP7.3, EGP Internal, EGP External). The company serves truck equipment manufacturers, construction and public works machinery OEMs, agricultural equipment makers, defense, marine, aerospace, and industrial manufacturers, complemented by custom/bespoke hydraulic development services. Products are assembled and tested at the integrated Azerailles headquarters in France, with regional assembly in Katy, Texas.

Product overview

Hydro Leduc is a French designer and manufacturer of high-pressure hydraulic components, offering a broad modular portfolio organized around four core product families: hydraulic piston pumps (fixed and variable displacement), hydraulic piston motors (fixed and variable displacement), hydro-pneumatic accumulators (piston, bladder, cylindrical welded, and spherical types), and micro-hydraulic solutions. The portfolio also includes electropump groups (GEP7.3 for hybrid vehicles, EGP Internal and EGP External), the ME230 electric motor for ePTO applications, and a full range of accessories (suction fittings, bypass valves, circulation valves, LS filter fittings). Custom/bespoke development services complement the standard range. Products serve truck equipment, construction/earth-moving (TP), agricultural machines, material handling, marine, aeronautics, oil/petroleum, and industrial sectors. The company was founded in 1938, holds over 200 patents, and operates its main plant in Azerailles, France, with subsidiaries in Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, the USA (Katy, Texas assembly), China, Italy, and Spain/Portugal. A sister company, EL MOTION (founded 2024), specializes in electrifying HYDRO LEDUC hydraulic solutions.
