Hydraulic Repair Corp.

What Hydraulic Repair Corp. does

Hydraulic Repair Corp. is a privately held industrial services company founded in 1979 and headquartered in Portsmouth, Virginia. The firm specializes in the repair, remanufacture, and custom manufacturing of hydraulic components — primarily cylinders, pumps, and motors — to original manufacturer specifications, with additional capabilities in cylinder honing, re-chroming, and custom shaft fabrication. Its Portsmouth facility houses a full machine and welding shop including lathes (up to 18" diameter and 20' length), milling machines, a 12–150 ton hydraulic press, the largest cylinder disassembly machine in Tidewater (120,000 ft-lbs torque), the largest hone machine in the region (2"–24" diameter, up to 12' length), and the only 300 HP self-contained hydraulic and transmission test stand in the area.

The company generates revenue through a mix of repair and remanufacturing services, custom manufacturing, hydraulic testing, and the distribution of Parker Hannifin hydraulic hoses, fittings, adaptors, and seals under a warehouse distributorship held for over 25 years. Field operations are delivered through three outside salesmen and fully equipped mobile hydraulic repair units that perform on-site emergency repairs and hose assembly manufacturing, with services reaching from Richmond through Tidewater into Northeastern North Carolina.

Customers span government municipalities (including NAVFAC Mid-Atlantic), heavy and light construction contractors, utility companies, and maritime/ship companies, with pricing set on a quote-per-job basis. The company holds SWAM certification from the State of Virginia and is a member of the Equipment Service Association, supporting its position with government set-aside work. Leadership is held by President Nickolas Nesland; the business has operated continuously since 1979 with 18 employees, several of whom have tenures exceeding 30 years, and an original stockholder remains active in daily operations.
