Cheers to 55 Years!

In 1970, Sun Hydraulics was founded on a bold vision: to redefine fluid power through innovation, quality, and precision. Fifty-five years later, what began with a revolutionary approach to screw-in cartridge valve technology has evolved into a portfolio of high-performance solutions that integrate quality precision engineering with market-driven solutions, exemplified by our most recent product releases like the 2-port energy harvester valve ENERGEN™ and the pilot-operated, normally-closed, electro-proportional throttle with reverse flow check (740-Series) FPJP, to name a few. Sun’s vision continues to thrive—powering industries and shaping the future of hydraulics.

Throughout this journey, our load holding and counterbalance valves have played a pivotal role in establishing Sun as a trusted global brand. Known for their reliability, smooth performance, and superior control in demanding applications, these valves became foundational to our success in mobile and industrial hydraulics. Their consistent performance in safety-critical and efficiency-driven systems helped open new markets and build lasting customer confidence.

As we celebrate this 55-year milestone, we reflect on the incredible journey that has brought us here. From pioneering cartridge valve technology to expanding our global presence, every advancement has been driven by the commitment of our people and the trust of our customers and sales channel partners. We extend our sincere appreciation to all who have contributed to our enduring success. Your continued support has been instrumental in shaping our legacy, and we look forward to building an even brighter future together.
