Mendahose Hydraulics

What Mendahose Hydraulics does

Mendahose Hydraulics (legally Fluiconnecto UK Ltd) is a UK-based industrial fluid power services provider operating as part of Manuli Ryco Group's Service Division. Founded over 30 years ago and headquartered in Castleford, the company runs a multi-channel operation consisting of four Hydroshop retail locations (Castleford, Leeds, Warrington, Coventry), a Leeds-based hydraulic cylinder repair shop, and a nationwide 24/7 Service On-Site (SOS) mobile van fleet that performs on-site hydraulic hose replacement, fault diagnosis, and preventative maintenance. The company also supplies hydraulic, pneumatic, and industrial hose, tube, fittings, adaptors, seals, pumps, valves, motors, tools, and lubricants with next-day delivery on stock parts, and offers hard-pipe and ring-main installation projects from workshops to high-pressure sub-sea and power generation applications.

The business serves B2B customers across plant & hire equipment, freight & fleet support, power generation (coal, gas, nuclear, solar, wind, wave), OEM manufacturers, and broader MRO markets. Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (mobile SOS response, cylinder repair, installation project management), parts supply (transactional and contract), and OEM hose kitting with line-side support. Customer acquisition is predominantly direct, via a 24/7 national helpline (0800 633 5233), email, and trade counter footfall. Quality Italian-manufactured hose and fittings carry a 1-year warranty, and all cylinder repairs are fully tested and certified.

In November 2024 the company announced a coordinated expansion: acquisition of GB Hoses Limited (North-West England), acquisition of Cardiff Hydraulics Ltd (South Wales), and the addition of three new SOS vans to the mobile fleet. The company employs 51-100 staff and is wholly owned by Manuli Ryco Group, a global hydraulic group, with no public listing, venture capital, or private equity ownership evidenced.
