HYDRO LEDUC’s operational agility is also evident in its ability to provide customized solutions in record time.
Investment Strategy and Long-Term Vision
HYDRO LEDUC’s investment strategy is resolutely forward-looking. Allocating between 5% and 6% of its annual turnover to machinery renewal and new manufacturing processes, the company demonstrates a continuous commitment to modernizing and optimizing its equipment.
For instance, in the 2022 fiscal year, a budget of 3 million euros was allocated to equipment upgrades, including a focus on robotic automation. This initiative aims to increase process automation while enhancing working conditions to ensure optimal long-term performance.
HYDRO LEDUC’s Commitment to Industrial Excellence
In conclusion, HYDRO LEDUC’s renewal of its machinery fleet is far more than an operational necessity; it is a commitment to industrial excellence and innovation. These targeted investments, supported by our ongoing innovation and flexibility, position the company as a leader in hydraulic and electro-hydraulic component manufacturing. With a robust investment strategy, HYDRO LEDUC meets client demands competitively and anticipates emerging market needs.
