HydraForce Inc.

We were proud to be part of yesterday's company run - Firmenlauf Zweibrücken 2024! The event marks its 13th year and celebrates local businesses in the region, with a 5km community run through the city. This year saw our Zweibrücken-based team run alongside other companies, including some of our customers located in the Palatinate region, and together with our colleagues at Bosch Rexroth. It provided the opportunity to strengthen our local team, as we move forward as one company. A big congratulations to all the runners who took part in Firmenlauf Zweibrücken 2024, to celebrate businesses and teamwork in the Zweibrücken region! #hydraforce #compacthydraulics #boschrexroth #teamwork

We want to wish our customers, employees, and followers a Happy Fourth of July!

We wish you all a happy and safe holiday weekend! #hydraforce #compacthydraulics #independenceday

Last week, we hosted a group visit from Stockland Green School in England, at our Birmingham UK plant. The group of twenty-seven girls, aged between 9 and 13, took part in a typical day as 'Women working in Engineering’. The group participated in activities including reading drawings, conducting MSA’s & designing, manufacturing & testing paper aeroplanes. The whole group positively participated in the day, with some already demonstrated their potential to be engineers of the future. We even had some very successful aeroplane designs at the end of the day, which surpassed our own flying distance records - much to the dismay of our own female engineers! #INWED24 #womeninstem #hydraforce #compacthydraulics

Join us in celebrating National Logistics Day! This day was created to recognize and appreciate the importance of the logistics industry in global and national economies. Together with Bosch Rexroth, we operate nine manufacturing locations around the world, so we understand the importance of moving as ONE team to maintain regional supply chains for fast product availability and even stronger customer support. We rely on a vast network of distributors, shippers and transporters to delight our customers with a wide range of compact hydraulics solutions on a global scale.

Today, we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day - an annual event that recognises and celebrates the achievements of females in our industry. Even today, women only make up 15% of the international engineering workforce. Here at HydraForce & Bosch Rexroth, we recognise the important role successful women engineers play as positive role models, inspiring young women to pursue careers in engineering. Our values and principles are founded on 'Fairness & Inclusion.' We strive for a world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

Earlier this year, HydraForce Ltd's HR Manager, Georgia Wood Chartered MCIPD participated in the Inspiring the Next Generation of Girls & Women in Science and Engineering event, hosted by the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Institute of Technology and BMet, to advocate for greater gender diversity in STEM fields. According to the Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) organisation, only 10% of today's engineering workforce is comprised of women. Georgia shared valuable insights from her personal and professional experiences, in hopes of empowering young women to pursue STEM careers.

Did you catch our post last week about how HydraForce's Christopher Carswell became LeanDNA's newest Supply Chain Hero? Chris and his team, worked together with LeanDNA to improve the global supply chain, by transforming inventory management and operational efficiency, through data-driven inventory and procurement insights. This has resulted in a better service for our customers, thanks to its strategic and more customer-centric approach. Chris collaborated with Purchasing Manager at HydraForce Inc Mike Schwalbach and Senior Supply Chain Planner at HydraForce Ltd, Billy Nagra, on the LeanDNA project. Both Michael and Billy played a pivotal role in the development of the project, and their support, effort and collaboration demonstrates how teamwork can accelerate any initiative.
