What Pedro Roquet does

Pedro Roquet, operating commercially as Roquet Group and legally as Roquet Hydraulics, S.L., is a privately held Spanish industrial manufacturer of hydraulic components for mobile equipment. Founded in the late 1940s and headquartered in Tona (Barcelona), the group employs 800+ specialized staff and operates through five wholly-owned production entities across Spain (Tona, Vic, Centelles, Roda de Ter) and Romania (Ploiesti). Its three core product lines are hydraulic cylinders (including small automated cylinders from Dinacil and medium/large cylinders from the Romanian plant), gear pumps and motors (aluminum and cast iron bodies, displacements from 0.33 to 150 cm³/rev), and control valves (monoblock and sectional, 25–100 l/min). A dedicated foundry, Fundiciones de Roda, supplies in-house cast iron components and supports both internal needs and external customers.

The company sells primarily to OEM manufacturers in agriculture (tractors, seeders, harvesters, turf equipment), construction (mini-excavators, skid-steer and wheeled loaders, telehandlers, compactors, off-road forklifts), and transport (hook lifts, skip lifts, truck steering/braking), with secondary exposure to food machinery and renewable energy (wind, solar). Its distribution model combines direct OEM sales with an authorized distributor network spanning 30+ countries across five continents, supplemented by active participation in major international trade fairs (Agritechnica, Bauma, CONEXPO, Agritechnica Asia, CSPI Expo). Pricing is quote-based B2B with no public disclosure.

Roquet's competitive position rests on vertical integration through its own foundry, proprietary in-house testing facilities including an anechoic chamber for gear profile acoustic optimization, and over 70 years of accumulated hydraulic engineering expertise. The group holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and (for the Romanian subsidiary) ISO 45001 certifications, and is controlled by the founding Roquet family. The customer base includes long-standing OEM relationships with major agricultural equipment manufacturers such as John Deere (historically via Lanz), Massey Ferguson, Renault Agriculture, Ebro, and Kubota (recipient of a 2019 Kaizen Award).

Core offering

Pedro Roquet (Roquet Group) designs, develops, and manufactures hydraulic components for demanding mobile applications. Its three core product lines are hydraulic cylinders, gear pumps and motors (aluminum and cast iron, 0.33 to 150 cm3/rev), and control valves (monoblock and sectional). The group operates an in-house foundry (Fundiciones de Roda), automated cylinder assembly (Dinacil), and in-house acoustic, fatigue, and corrosion testing facilities to support OEM customers in agriculture, construction, transport, renewable energy, and food machinery sectors.

Product overview

Roquet Group (Pedro Roquet) is a manufacturer specializing in the design, development, and manufacture of hydraulic systems and components. The product portfolio consists of three core product lines: hydraulic Cylinders (including standard and special applications for agriculture, construction, and other demanding applications), Gear Pumps and Motors (produced in both aluminum and cast iron from the company's own foundry, ranging from 0.33 to 150 cm3/rev), and Control Valves (monoblock and sectional valves with flow rates from 25 to 100 l/min). Additionally, the company offers a range of special products including solenoid valves, selector valves, compact power packs, self-leveling valves, marker valves for agriculture, and specialized motors for specific OEM applications like seeders, mowers, and construction equipment. Applications span agriculture (loaders, harvesters, seeders, turf machinery), construction (mini-excavators, loaders, compactors, telehandlers), transport (hook lifts, skip lifts), renewable energy (wind turbines, solar trackers), lifting, and food machinery sectors.
