What Power Systems does
Power Systems, Inc. is a privately held industrial distributor and custom systems integrator specializing in hydraulic and pneumatic fluid power products, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Buford, Georgia. The company operates as a stocking distributor representing over 70 manufacturers including Danfoss, Parker Hannifin, Moog, Hydraforce, Oilgear, Ross Controls, Stauff, Atos, and Gast, covering five core product categories: Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electronics, Lubrication, and Connectors. Its customer base spans nine verticals including Industrial OEM, Mobile OEM, MRO operations, Food & Beverage, Packaging, Power Generation, Forestry, and Primary Metals, with primary geographic focus on the Southeastern United States.
The company's revenue model combines three streams: hardware distribution margin on stocked products, professional services revenue from custom engineering and fabrication of hydraulic power units (1/2 hp to 2000 hp), custom pneumatic systems, and custom manifolds, and service revenue from authorized repair centers for Danfoss, Oilgear, Gast, Haskel, and SKF-Lincoln products. Technical capabilities include AutoCAD/Solidworks design, Danfoss Plus+1 programming, a 150HP/5000 psi test stand for system validation, and after-hours emergency service. Pricing is quote-based with Net 30 payment terms, and go-to-market relies on a Technical Sales Team providing direct customer engagement, an online quote request system, and manufacturer partnership channels.
Power Systems competes on distribution breadth, authorized service certifications, and local Southeastern US response times rather than on proprietary technology. The company maintains no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and operates with 251-500 employees across its Buford headquarters and a secondary Charlotte, NC service location.

Power Systems competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Cross Company: Cross Company is an industrial distributor and custom system integrator specializing in fluid power, automation, and motion control across the Southeastern US. Its geographic footprint, product portfolio, and engineered systems offering make it a near-direct peer to Power Systems, Inc.
- Motion Industries: Motion Industries, a subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company, is one of the largest industrial distributors in North America with a major fluid power product category and value-added services including custom fabrication. It is directly comparable to Power Systems, Inc. in hydraulic and pneumatic distribution, though at substantially greater scale and geographic breadth.
- Applied Industrial Technologies: Applied Industrial Technologies is a leading industrial distributor with a meaningful fluid power and motion control offering serving OEM and MRO customers across North America. It competes head-to-head with Power Systems in hydraulic/pneumatic distribution while operating at significantly larger scale.
- Air Hydro Power: Air Hydro Power is a regional fluid power distributor and custom system integrator based in the Midwest, providing hydraulic and pneumatic components, custom power units, manifolds, and repair services — a business model and customer mix that closely mirrors Power Systems, Inc.
- Hydraquip: Hydraquip is a fluid power distributor and system integrator serving industrial and mobile OEMs with hydraulic components, custom power units, and engineering services. Comparable to Power Systems in combining multi-brand distribution with custom integration capabilities.
- Flodraulic Group: Flodraulic Group is a fluid power distributor and custom system integrator serving mobile and industrial OEMs with hydraulic and pneumatic products, custom manifolds, and engineered solutions. It is closely comparable to Power Systems in product breadth, value-added services, and customer profile.
Broad incumbents
- Eaton (Hydraulics): Eaton is a major manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders and related motion control products distributed in part through partners like Power Systems. It is comparable as both a supplier (Power Systems distributes Eaton hydraulic cylinders) and as a broad industrial incumbent competing in adjacent fluid power markets.
- Bosch Rexroth: Bosch Rexroth is one of the world's largest manufacturers of hydraulic and pneumatic components and systems, also selling direct and through distribution. It is comparable to Power Systems as a counterparty (one of its principals' competitors in some accounts) and as an upstream supplier whose channel strategy affects Power Systems' economics.
- Parker Hannifin: Parker Hannifin is a global leader in motion and control technologies, manufacturing hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical components and operating the WinSAL authorized distributor network. Comparable to Power Systems as both an upstream manufacturer partner and a channel competitor in select product lines.
Emerging players
- Kaman Industrial Technologies (legacy): Kaman's industrial distribution business historically competed in fluid power and motion control distribution before being divested to Motion Industries; it remains a comparable benchmark for what a multi-regional fluid power distributor's scale and offering looks like versus a focused regional player like Power Systems.
