Hydraulic Projects Ltd

Hydraulic Projects Ltd was first incorporated in 1966, having started in a boat yard in Teignmouth by its founder Dick Hammond, who recognised the need for a robust, compact and economic range of hydraulic valves for smaller OEMs. In 1984, a new purpose-built factory was commissioned in Exeter, Devon, England. The company now produces three ranges of modular valves, a selection of line mounted valves, two ranges of pumps for autopilots (reversing and constant running) and a design award winning hydraulic actuator with combined pump and reservoir. The business boasts state of the art production machinery, assembly shops and design facilities. Products are designed in-house using solid modelling techniques and more than 90% of components are manufactured on site. All products are assembled and tested at the Devon base. Quality is paramount and the company is certified to ISO 9001 quality standards. The Hy-Pro (registered trademark) brand is known for technical backup and cost effective bespoke hydraulic solutions, as well as standard control valve ranges. The Hy-Pro brand is sold into small to medium-sized original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The Hy-Pro team provide expert guidance and advice as well as specially designed valves to suit specific applications. With qualified engineers, an experienced technical sales team and manufacturing equipment on the same site, new products and product modifications can be produced within weeks. Customers include Teagle Machinery, McConnel, Spencer Carter, Schuitemaker Machines (Holland) and STS Olbramovice (Czech Republic) and more. In addition the company has a network of approved distributors throughout the UK, Europe and worldwide. Hy-Pro products are found in medical, agricultural and fruit picking equipment, recovery vehicles, transporters, construction equipment, railway maintenance equipment, pipeline construction, drilling rigs, industrial applications and leisure and commercial boats.
