Hydreco Hydraulics

What Hydreco Hydraulics does

Hydreco Hydraulics is a UK-headquartered (Poole) designer, manufacturer, and distributor of hydraulic motion-control components for mobile machinery and transport vehicles, operating as the mobile-applications brand within Italy's Duplomatic Group, which since September 2025 has been grouped under the Daikin Oil Hydraulics division alongside Continental Hydraulics and Duplomatic Motion Solutions. Its core technology spans gear and piston pumps/motors (1-220 cc/rev gear units and bent-axis piston pumps to 350 bar), a full valve family (monoblock, sectional, CETOP, cartridge, and truck-specific units up to 450 L/min), hydraulic cylinders (custom industrial units to 500 mm bore and 8,000 mm stroke, plus telescopic tipper/dump cylinders), PTOs engineered for more than a dozen major vehicle transmissions, and CAN-bus electronic controls (ECUs, displays, proportional joysticks, and PC software tools). Powauto is a sub-brand for truck-specific PTOs, pumps, and valves. The business sells globally via a network of official distributors who can deliver complete hydraulic systems and power units, supplemented by direct regional sales offices in the UK, Germany, Italy (Parma, Vignola, San Cesario), Norway, Australia (Regents Park NSW and Welshpool WA), India (Bangalore), and the Americas (Shakopee MN). Revenue derives from hardware sales of catalogue components, custom-engineered hydraulic cylinders for OEM applications in offshore, mining, railways, and heavy industry, and workshop installation, service, and repair work — particularly for heavy-vehicle and prime-mover body builders in the truck market. Customer segments span 11 verticals: agricultural, construction, earth-moving, forestry, marine, material handling, mining, municipal, oil and gas, railways, and transport, with agricultural, construction, and transport flagged as primary.
