HY-POWER was founded as hydraulic and tube specialized company by Richard Gunacker in 1986.
Several engineering activities caused, that HY-POWER was commissioned to develop a stationary rail lubrication system by the Wiener Linien (tramway). This development caused the first patent - "Bedarfsgerechte, stationäre Schienenschmierung".
16 different patents, which have been published and issued worldwide, followed. HY-POWER distinguishes himself as a specialist in the areas hydraulic engineering, lubrication technology, mechanical engineering, tribology and additionally as developer and producer for niche products (e.g. pellet accessories) and consulting solutions in IT.
The development department created new ideas and product by merging electronics, sensorics and processor programming.
Costumer orientated individual software and IoT solutions, business solutions - IT networks, organisational-, monitoring-software, 3D models and CAD drawings have been a logical consequence of our development activities.
Several branches have been founded over the years in Slovakia, Sweden, Spain, Mexico and Bosnia.
Many exclusive dealers have been activated in more then 30 countries to secure the worldwide distribution of HY-POWER products.
