HYDROTEC

What HYDROTEC does

HYDROTEC SARL is a French private limited company (SARL, registered capital €150,000, RCS Orléans 342 770 468) that designs, sells, maintains, and repairs hydraulic and mechatronic systems for industrial and mobile equipment operators. Headquartered in Ingré near Orléans, it operates two regional subsidiaries — HYDROTEC ATLANTIQUE in Nantes and HYDROTEC GASCOGNE in Bordeaux — and functions as a regional entity within Groupe RFH (Réseau Français de l'Hydraulique), whose hydraulic expertise has been recognized for over fifty years. The company employs between 11 and 50 staff and runs a sales-led go-to-market combining walk-in counter sales, on-site intervention teams, and in-house engineering.

The core offering spans five interconnected lines: (1) custom hydraulic system and special machine design using Solidworks, Autocad, and Automation Studio, including hydraulic power units ranging from 1–2000 L/min and 4–500 bar; (2) on-site preventive and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting, piping, and circuit decontamination; (3) certified repair of pumps, motors, cylinders, and proportional valves under approved center status with Danfoss, Poclain Hydraulics, Linde, and Parker, with in-house test benches and quality control; (4) distribution of hydraulic components across major brands (Bosch Rexroth, Parker Hannifin, HAWE, Moog, Hydro Leduc, HYDAC, HCS, Stauff, Sun Hydraulics, Gates, MAHLE, MP Filtri, Filtration Group, VOSS, Alfagomma, Verinorm); and (5) hydraulic filtration products and services backed by a laboratory for fluid contamination analysis with automatic particle counting and water content measurement. Proprietary electronic cards (DAC and DMA modules) for proportional valve control complete the portfolio.

HYDROTEC serves a diversified vertical mix including manufacturing, mining, metallurgy, aerospace, defense, nuclear, energy, offshore, petrochemical, construction, agriculture, fishing, maritime, and lifting/handling. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware distribution, professional repair and maintenance services, project-based engineering, and on-site service contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the firm operates only within France through its three physical sites and the wider Groupe RFH network.
