Hydraquip Corporation Splits into Three Different Entities

Press Release
January 2007

To Our Valued Customers:

Hydraquip Corporation has undergone several changes that we feel will better serve you, our client. We have separated the component sales and systems groups into individual companies. The original component sales group is now named Hydraquip Distribution, Incorporated; and the systems group is now named Hydraquip Custom Systems, Incorporated.

These changes were brought about by significant growth within both groups. Separating them into two companies greatly streamlines our processes, and enhances our ability to focus on what each entity does best. What this means is you can expect even better service from us - both right now, and in the future.

The purpose of this letter is to make you aware of these changes, and to let you know that from this point forward, the same group of people will be fulfilling your needs under the name of Hydraquip Distribution, Inc. This should be a seamless change from your standpoint. It has always been our employee-owners' goal to provide you with fluid power solutions, and not simply "sell part numbers", and that goal remains unchanged. We will continue to utilize reliable, leading-edge technology that improves longevity, enhances productivity, and simplifies maintenance in a cost-effective manner.

The physical address & phone number remain the same.

Hydraquip Distribution, Inc.
4723 Pinemont
Houston, TX 77092

Phone: 713-680-1951

Please feel free to contact any one of Hydraquip Distribution, Inc's management team, consisting of the following:

In addition, we have the incredible Regional / Branch Manager team of Tim Nichols (North Texas), Gordon Shellhaas (San Antonio), Jim Blaylock (Oklahoma), Joe Simon (New Orleans), and Scott Nelson (Houston).

On behalf of all employee-owners, we wish to express our sincerest appreciation for your past, present, and future business. It is because of valued customers like you that we are able to grow and make these positive changes. We look forward to serving your needs and exceeding your expectations in our future endeavors!

Sincerely,
The Employee-Owners of Hydraquip Distribution, Incorporated  

Hydraquip Corporation Granted Exclusive Distribution Rights by Fairfield

Press Release
December 2004

Hydraquip Corporation, a premiere fluid power integration and distribution company with offices in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma has been granted the exclusive distribution rights to market the FAIRFIELD S60 planetary gear box to the liftboat industry. Fairfield is the largest non-captive supplier of gearing products in North America.  

Hydraquip is a provider of turn-key systems catering to the marine industry. They have serviced shipbuilders, owners, and operators for over ten years and are recognized for their innovative state of the art designs. The newly certified ABS type approved planetary, torque tube, pinion, and end cap is used on the lift boat towers to drive the vessel's legs and elevate or lower the boat. Fairfield engineered the gear box to provide optimum rack to pinion engagement and with the overall increased efficiency can in some cases reduce the number of assemblies required to lift a vessel while extending the life of both the pinion and interfacing rack.

Hydraquip has the people, resources, technology and solutions to meet your marine needs and with Fairfield's agreement, Hydraquip is positioned to offer shipbuilders a turn-key lift system, adding to their existing capabilities inclusive of steering, controls, alarms, engine monitoring, thrusters, crane and hose reel drives.
