The two companies started their relationship in 2015 when Hercules Hydraulics became the AMCA Build Partner for England and Wales. They quickly established themselves as one of the largest AMCA Build Partners worldwide, which paved the way for the new UK distributor appointment.

Under the new arrangement, parts will be shipped from Holland direct to Hercules Hydraulics which will build, test and deliver AMCA Valves to customers in England and Wales, and will also supply components to Scottish AMCA build partner, ITC.

“We have enjoyed working as a build partner with AMCA for the past couple of years,” said Ryan Langley, MD at Hercules Hydraulics, “and are delighted to have been chosen as a full UK distributor. We are looking forward to working closely with ITC in Scotland to ensure the growth of the AMCA business throughout the UK.”

Each AMCA valve is built, set up and tested to specific customer requirements, with bespoke valve configurations being available from stock.  Valves can be specified for flow rates to 660L/m, rated to 420bar with electrical, manual or hydraulic pilot control and can usually be built, tested and delivered in 48h.

One of the main driving factors behind AMCA’s decision to appoint Hercules Hydraulics was the expertise the Company has in the marine hydraulics sector particularly in the offshore workboat market, a sector where AMCA excels in other parts of the world.

AMCA valves however also strengthen Hercules Hydraulics offering in other market sectors such as industry, agriculture, construction and mobile plant, all significant users of hydraulic equipment and a wide range of hydraulic valves.

AMCA Valves are just part of a comprehensive range of hydraulic products available from Hercules Hydraulics, including electro-magnetic clutches, fire fighting pumps, fuel transfer systems and pressure washers.

Hercules Hydraulics will be exhibiting at the Fluid Power Systems event NEC, Birmingham, from 10th to 12th April 2018 (Stand AF1558).
