Linde increases footprint in North America

Linde Hydraulics (LHY) announced plans to increase its footprint in North America. The company’s wholly owned subsidiary Linde Hydraulics Corporation USA (LHC) will start serving the North American market directly. LHC will offer a wide range of capabilities in sales and services, applications engineering, assembly as well as testing in an effort to significantly grow Linde Hydraulics’ market share in heavy-duty hydraulics.

In North America, LHC will bring the full line of Linde components and system expertise to the hydraulic market, including complete product support for open and closed circuit heavy duty hydraulic pumps as well as fixed, variable and self-regulating hydraulic motors. Both product groups range from 55cc to 280cc with working pressures of up to 500bar. The product line is complemented by a family of directional control valves ranging from 150l/min to 600l/min at full working pressure. Additional products being offered feature electronic control units, peripheral equipment and power transmissions.

John Kumler, president of LHC, said: “With an experienced team in North America we are looking forward to directly supporting our American customers again. We are confident, that our advanced products and excellent engineering capabilities along with our after sales and remanufacturing services will make a difference in the American market of heavy duty hydraulics”.
