Timothy New came to Hydra Kinetics after completing his MBA in 1994 and a couple years later he purchased the company.  In 1998 he acquired Huskybilt Filters manufacturing industrial air filters.  He later expanded the product line to include fuel and oil filters.  In 2002 he sold the Huskybilt Filters subsidiary and returned the focus back to hydraulic cylinders.  In 2009 he began importing valves from Taiwan when there was a major supply issue in the US.  This took lead times down from over 20 weeks to under 10 weeks and in 2012 he traveled to Taiwan to solidify relations...

Timothy New is on a cruise this week with his wife Vicki.  She was recognized as a Top 5% Seller in her women's clothing company and was rewarded with a free cruise.  Congrats to both for a well earned vacation.

Congrats to Truman New on his 30th Anniversary this month. He and the founder of TMS, Stewart Fettig, left Texas Hydraulics 32 years ago after the business was sold. TMS and Hydra Kinetics started with humble beginnings.  TMS had a dirt floor and Truman's office was in his car. Since then they built up multi million dollar company that has quality products all over the world.

We just approved an ad campaign with Hydraulics & Pneumatics Magazine.  Watch for our ads starting next month. Our Winner valves have Zero warranty claims in 5 Years and tests show them performing as well or better than the Sun valve.  Now it is time to get some brand recognition.

In a meeting at the IFPE Show in Las Vegas last week Henry Sung, CEO of Winner Hydraulics, Steven Chen, International Sales Manager of Winner Hydraulics and Timothy New, CEO of Hydra Kinetics met to discuss market strategies for the USA market.  Hydra Kinetics was named Master Distributor and instructed to begin setting up a distribution network and territories.  This is an exciting step forward for both companies as we both continue to expand and grow market share.
