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).
