Our Heritage,
Vision & Mission
Hydramatics has been part of South Africa’s industrial landscape for decades. Founded in 1965 as Hydraulics & Pneumatics and rebranded in 2012 as Hydramatics Control Equipment, we have grown from a specialist component supplier into a comprehensive provider of automation and fluid control solutions.
Our vision is to be South Africa’s most trusted partner for reliable and sustainable automation. Our mission is simple: to make modern automation accessible, effective, and future-ready. We achieve this by stocking and sourcing proven components, providing honest technical advice, assembling valve islands and electro-pneumatic panels locally, and supporting commissioning and training through trusted partners.
Challenges we Solve
Challenges we Solve
Reliability & Downtime
Unplanned stoppages caused by sticking valves, drifting settings, or actuator wear reduce productivity and increase maintenance intervention.
Precision & Measurement Integrity
Inconsistent actuator motion or incorrectly specified fittings reduce process stability, impacting both product quality and measurement accuracy.
Safety & Efficiency
Outdated components, manual handling demands, and non-compliant equipment raise safety risks and limit throughput in fast-moving environments.
Energy & Leakage
Inefficient air flow, unmonitored regulators and system leaks waste compressed air and increase operating costs.
Maintenance & Integration Complexity
Legacy equipment, difficult-to-access components, and non-standard layouts lead to longer repair times, slow upgrades, and greater operator effort.
What makes us Different
We’re not just a parts distributor. We partner with engineers and procurement teams to design, build,
and maintain long-lasting solutions tailored to your operation.
