AC Group of Companies

AC Honed Group is a group of companies that supplies honed and unhoned tube, chrome shafting, and specialist machining services to the hydraulic industry and other industries. AC HONED TUBE was founded in 1978 by Andre Calitz and was first known as Hydrofit Engineering. At that time the company specialised in the design and manufacture of specialised hydraulic equipment. Andre Calitz found there was a shortage of honed cylinder tubing and chrome shafting, so he investigated the possibility of manufacturing these products locally. At a later stage, a hard chrome plant company was purchased for the manufacturing of chrome shafting and hard chroming. Due to the change in product, our name was changed to AC HONED TUBE and AC HARD Chrome.
