What PMC Hydraulics Group does

PMC Hydraulics Group, headquartered in Helsingborg, Sweden, is a Nordic-based industrial hydraulics group that designs, engineers, distributes, and manufactures customized hydraulic systems, components, and solutions. Founded in 1957, the company operates as a subsidiary of Dacke Industri, which is itself wholly owned by the family-controlled investment company Nordstjernan AB. The company sells a comprehensive range of hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, filters, coolers, accumulators, and measurement equipment sourced from leading component manufacturers (Atos, Sun Hydraulics, Moog, Danfoss, Hydraforce, Hydrotechnik, and others) alongside proprietary solutions including Hydraulic Power Units (HPUs), customized manifolds, the CycloneConcept energy-efficiency platform, and Clean Oil Technology.

The company's customer base spans four end-markets: Mobile (construction, mining, forestry, agricultural machinery), Marine (vessels, offshore, hatch covers, winches), Industrial (pulp and paper, mining and minerals), and Energy (power plants, wind turbines, biomass). Revenue is generated through a B2B enterprise model: direct field sales to international OEM customers combined with a 14-dealer network in Finland, quote-based pricing on customized systems and HPUs, and multi-year contracts.

PMC operates direct offices, engineering centers, and manufacturing facilities across eight countries - Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Poland, China, and India - with the India footprint deepened through the 2021 acquisition and 2024 full buyout of Hydroquip Hydraulics. Reported turnover is approximately 100 MEUR with around 400 professionals. In May 2026 the company announced a partnership ambition with Bosch Rexroth.
