What Tyroller Hydraulics does

Tyroller Hydraulik GmbH is a third-generation, family-owned German manufacturer of custom hydraulic systems, headquartered in Waidhofen, Bavaria. Founded in 1970 by Johann Tyroller as a one-person engineering office, the company now operates from a facility expanded most recently in 2016 (EUR 2.5 million investment adding 1,600 sqm of production space and 450 sqm of office space), employing 51-100 staff including 4-7 apprentices. The current co-managing directors are Martin Tyroller and Johann Nestler.

The company's core manufactured products are hydraulic aggregates (power units from 0.12 kW to 132 kW, including central systems over 1 MW), hydraulic cylinders (piston diameters 22-400 mm, strokes up to 8,000 mm, operating temperatures -40°C to +200°C), and custom control/valve blocks (monoblock or sandwich construction). Specialized offerings include ATEX-certified explosion-proof hydraulic systems (Zones 1, 2, 21, 22), Bosch Rexroth-based variable-speed drives (CytroBox, Cytropac, Sytronix), servo-hydraulic systems, electrohydraulic test stands, mobile drilling rigs up to 300 m depth, and safety-critical hydraulic solutions for amusement rides. A distribution arm holds 120,000+ parts from partner brands including Bosch Rexroth and Sun Hydraulik. A service division repairs over 1,000 hydraulic cylinders per year and provides commissioning, annual maintenance, and retrofit across Europe.

Revenue is generated via quote-based B2B project sales (hardware) of custom systems and series production, hardware distribution of components, and lifecycle service contracts. Pricing is non-public, with multi-year project-based engagements and aftermarket service. Customers are unnamed but characterized as market leaders in amusement rides (including over 150 Wellenflieger rides globally and 350+ equipped amusement rides worldwide), the wood industry (stationary and mobile sawmill OEMs), the oil & gas industry (ATEX applications), special machinery and plant construction, drilling technology (onshore/offshore), agriculture and forestry, and test-stand construction. Go-to-market is direct technical field sales with inside/outside representatives, supported by website content, Facebook presence, and recruitment at regional career events. No external institutional investors, PE, or VC participation has been disclosed.
