Introducing Hydro Richards

Specializing in babbitt bearing manufacturing and service, precision machining, fusion welding, fabrication, and reverse engineering for pump components and rebuilds. 

Hydro Richards was founded in 1942 and originally focused on meeting the machining needs of the forest industry and the war effort. Over the past century, we have grown and diversified to meet the needs of our expanding and evolving industrial world.

Our 13,000 square foot production facility is located in the city of Port Coquitlam. This provides us with quick access to material suppliers, subcontractors, the Trans-Canada Highway, the United States border, and the Vancouver International Airport.

Hydro Richards is an active supporter of the provincial Machinist Apprenticeship Program, employing only provincially qualified journeymen machinists.  We are compliant with ISO 9001AWS D1.1CWB W47.1, and fully support a continuous quality improvement philosophy.
