ÖLHYDRAULIK ALTENERDING

Mobile hydraulics as the driving force

The mobile hydraulics became very early the driving force for further developments. We expanded our product line quickly with support hydraulics and truck cranes. Today, we deliver a special cylinder program to all established manufacturers in the industry. The special hydraulics also became a continuously expanding industry branch. For example, we built gang saw tensioning systems for the timber industry, dashpots for robots and spring type cylinders for brake systems. They were in all cases the result of challenges, which came from the close cooperation with our customers. We realized their wishes and requests and fulfilled them to their satisfaction.

Management change
An important change for the future of our company was implemented in 1972. The long time sole owner, Carl Dechamps, offered his employee Ferdinand Kretz, who worked with him since the company was founded, a share of the business and promoted him and his son, Rolf Dechamps, to general managers. Today, the company is owned to 50% each by the families Dechamps and Kretz, and the latter is solely responsible for the management of the company.

Continued expansion

Due to the continued growth, the space used during the founding days became too restricted. In 1978, we moved into a new building in the in the industrial park Erding Südwest, which grew in several construction steps to the current size of 5 halls for production, warehousing and final assembly. Our employee base grew to 220. You will find high-performance CNC lathe and milling centers, an accurate honing and grinding technology, modern measurement technologies and mobile test stands in our plant. The technology puts us into the position to offer outstanding technology at competitive prices. In 1994, we had to make a significant decision for the company to ensure that we would meet the demand in the long run. We founded NAMAC in Naumburg a. d. Saale (Sachsen Anhalt) because the local labor market did not provide enough resources. This company employs currently 60 people, mainly skilled craftsmen, and it is used as an extension for the parent company in Erdingen. It is our medium term objective to establish a hydraulics production there. This is why we offer comprehensive training for the Naumburg personnel.

This ensures that ÖLHYDRAULIK ALTENERDING continues to be a partner for their customers and a specialist with the collected know-how of many problem solutions for industrial and mobile hydraulics markets.
