Hydro Fabs

What Hydro Fabs does

Hydro Fabs, established in 1995 and headquartered in Bengaluru, India, manufactures and exports hydraulic lifting equipment for industrial, commercial, residential, and food service applications. The company is structured as a partnership firm (GST No. 29AAAFH9304E1ZK) operating from a 12,500 square foot production facility, with regional branch offices in Hyderabad and Ahmedabad, and export presence in Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bhutan, and the UAE.

Its product portfolio spans five core categories built on hydraulic actuation technology with electromechanical door interlocks, lever-type switches, and spring buffers for safety: scissor lifts (heavy duty, mobile, commercial, high-rise, low-rise, pit-mounted, roller ball, and rotating platform variants), goods lifts and elevators (industrial goods elevators, hydraulic dumbwaiters, cage goods lifts, flameproof lifts, single-sided loading lifts), car lifts and elevators (hydraulic car elevators, malls car elevators, luxury car elevators, four-wheeler elevators, garage scissor types, rotating platform lifts, high-rise car lifts, truck-mounted lifts), car parking systems, and specialized equipment (hydraulic bike lifts, scissor lift trucks, hydraulic lift platforms). The company operates an in-house R&D unit and applies total quality management across raw material selection through final shipment. Its stated competitive advantages are energy-efficient hydraulic systems consuming less than 50% of the electric energy of conventional lifts, large production capacity, and customization capability.

The business model is a direct-to-customer sale of physical equipment at unit prices ranging from Rs 3,00,000 to Rs 11,00,000 per piece, with quote-based pricing via the company website, IndiaMART marketplace listings, and direct enquiry/phone contact (reported 77% call response rate). Primary customer segments are industrial and manufacturing facilities and commercial buildings/malls, with secondary segments in residential and food service/hospitality. Reference customers include Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Microsoft, HP, Nokia, Pepsi, Infosys, Pizza Hut, and TVS. Leadership comprises Mr. A. C. Salim as CEO/visionary mentor and Kumar as Marketing Manager, with partners Mustufa Metawala and Mariya Salim Chinwala. Annual turnover is disclosed in the 25–100 Cr INR range.
