History

Hydro was founded in 1969 when a small group of pump engineers established a service center in Chicago operating under the belief that every repair is an opportunity for improvement. From that small shop, Hydro grew to become the world’s largest independent pump rebuilder with a global network of service centers.

In the mid-1980s, we realized that our focus on solving problems in the aftermarket and our independence from any single brand put us in a unique position to understand how pump design and construction influenced success or failure in specific applications and operating environments. By meticulously compiling a centralized source of data and experience across OEMs and models, Hydro built a strong foundation from which to engineer improvements and extend pump reliability.

Committed to providing our customers with a single source for achieving reliable operation, Hydro has continued to invest in services that provide end users with the resources they needed to reduce their costs. These services have formed a comprehensive continuum of support throughout equipment life and supported Hydro’s evolution from a single service center to a global total solutions provider.

Quality Assurance

Hydro’s Quality Assurance program and process control procedures are continually evolving to meet the stringent requirements of industry standards and regulatory bodies. All our US service centers operate under quality programs that comply with the ISO 9001:2015 standard. Many of our locations hold additional certifications, which can be found on our website under the information for each individual service center.

Our Chicago HydroAire Madison service center has an ASME N certification and holds NPT and NR certificates for work on Nuclear Safety-Related and ASME Code Pumps. HydroAire Madison's Quality Assurance Program complies with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, and ASME Section III and has been audited by the Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee (NUPIC).

We are committed to the education and development of our engineers, technicians, and management to ensure that they act in accordance with our QA Manual requirements and the latest standards. For additional details on specific service center QA programs, please contact the service center directly.

Experience and innovation drive a brighter future.

Throughout our history, Hydro has been guided and inspired by our purpose of improving our world through smart and skillful engineering. This devotion describes the impact we’ve had across our first 60 years, as well as our commitment to continuous advancement- for our customers, our colleagues, and our communities.

Customers put their trust in our products and services to support a wide range of applications in diverse sectors, such as Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Chemical, and Steel. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) activities uphold this trust and are central to our purpose and mission.
