Neuson Hydrotec

What Neuson Hydrotec does

Neuson Hydrotec GmbH is an Austrian mechanical engineering company headquartered at Gaisbergerstraße 52, Linz, with approximately 200 employees organized into five business units: Contract Manufacturing (CNC turning, milling, grinding, welding, finishing, and 3D coordinate metrology via a Zeiss Accura II machine), Hydraulics (cylinders and power units), Special Machine Construction, Processing Technology (mobile and stationary jaw crushers, screening plants, magnetic separators, vibro-channels), and Wood Chip Press. The company combines mechanical engineering, mechatronics, and hydraulics as its three core disciplines and holds two registered patents: the ST01BB hydraulic jaw crusher overload protection system (allowing uncrushable material up to 350 mm to pass without interruption) and the HSQ wood chip press conveyor chain (mechanical dewatering of wood chips). Operations span a 3,000 m² production area and 2,000 m² office footprint in Linz plus an additional cylinder production facility in Styria (Reiter GmbH). Named reference customers include ArcelorMittal (HRV), a German steel mill, Hasenöhrl (recycling), Baltic Block (Latvia), and Dold Holzwerke (Germany), among other international clients in steel, recycling, wood/biomass, and industrial manufacturing.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based hardware sales of custom industrial systems (hydraulic systems, crushing and screening plants, wood chip presses) plus CNC contract manufacturing services for prototypes and small series (10–100 units). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific for products, with disclosed salary bands (€50,000–€60,000 minimum annual) reflecting the Austrian collective-bargaining framework but no public product pricing. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on direct customer engagement via multilingual website (German, English, Japanese), consultation booking, an email newsletter via Sendinblue, employee LinkedIn profiles, and selective trade show participation (e.g., transport logistic 2019 in Munich with partner Innofreight). After-sales service, maintenance, and spare parts represent a recurring secondary stream. The company is privately held, ISO 9001:2015 certified, and currently led by Managing Directors Dipl. Ing. Gregor Nopp and Wolfgang Nöstler.
