Hidromek Goes from Strength to Strength

We have followed the rise of Turkish manufacturer Hidromek over many years here on the Digger Man Blog and this year they are celebrating their 47th year in business.

I have had the pleasure of visiting the Hidromek factory in Ankara twice now, in 2010 and in 2013 which is when I witnessed what was the start of the building of a new factory which involved a significant cut through rocky ground on a hillside up the road from one of the original facilities on the business park, where they are situated.

After those two visits, I would often spend a day or two during a holiday in Antalya, Turkey, with one of the local salesmen who would take me around to see some customers machines working locally, which was always interesting and made for some fascinating stories in Earthmovers Magazine.

With changes in staff at Hidromek over the years that connection is not so strong these days, but thanks to a number of local dealers in the UK, I still get to cover their machines in various features.

In my opinion Hidromek produce some super stylish, reliable and extremely capable machinery and the range of products continues to expand, most recently of course with the introduction of a telehandler range one of which was launched at Bauma.

The companies in-house design team do some outstanding work, with bodywork styling and especially in terms of the cab interiors.

Hidromek has recently revealed its new corporate video which I wanted to share with the Digger Man Blog faithful here, enjoy!
