Savery Hydraulics

What Savery Hydraulics does

Savery Hydraulics (T A Savery & Company Limited) is a privately held UK engineering firm that designs and manufactures bespoke electro-hydraulic control systems from its Centre of Excellence in Exhall, Coventry. The company's portfolio centres on custom Hydraulic Power Units (capable of installations up to 2 MW), custom Manifold Assemblies built with Hydraforce cartridge valves on CNC equipment, bespoke Hydraulic Control Systems (PLC- and SCADA-integrated), and project-based Test Solutions covering ring-main systems, test benches, ground support trolleys and structural test rigs. It pairs its own actuation expertise with the 2024 Moog strategic partnership for co-delivered structural testing solutions and serves as UK distributor for Hydraforce, Bosch Rexroth Compact Hydraulics, MP Filtri and Delta motion control components.

The company operates across six primary verticals: aerospace, automotive, wind energy/renewable energy, defence, civil engineering/infrastructure and marine, with named customers including Jaguar Land Rover (20+ year service relationship), BAE Systems (Warton), the UK Ministry of Defence, Defence Aviation Repair Agency (DARA), Hull City Council (212-tonne Hull flood barrier gate) and the Port of Dover (Berth 3 loading system). Engineering, manufacturing, testing, installation, commissioning and after-sales service are delivered in-house, supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13849, UKAS accreditation and E11 automotive certification.

Revenue is generated through four streams: bespoke hydraulic system sales, component distribution, project-based installation and commissioning services, and recurring service and maintenance contracts. Pricing is entirely quote-based and tailored to project specifications; no public pricing exists. Marketing is predominantly direct enterprise sales supported by case studies, the company website and BFPA industry association involvement. The firm is privately owned since 2006 (sold by the founding Savery family), acquired Oleo International in 2009, and employs 51–100 staff; financial revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
