Since 1976, we have designed and manufactured industry-leading hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, accumulators and actuators. Last year saw the successful acquisition of Washington-based Cylinder Service Centre (CSC), which helped to broaden our offering with its specialisms in hydraulic cylinder repair.

Since the acquisition, we have enjoyed rapid growth, with turnover on track to increase 60% from £7.5 million to £12 million year-on-year. It also allowed us to build upon an already successful team by increasing from 96 to 110 across our Huddersfield and Washington facilities.

We are delighted to announce that with the support of Lloyds bank we have managed to purchase CSC’s currently rented premises, helping to pave the way for further expansion at the site, and bring key operations, such as boring and honing services, in-house.

Simon Wadsworth, Managing Director at Hystat, said: “Our products are playing an increasingly critical role in supporting the transition to green and renewable energy sources, so it’s very important that we continue exploring opportunities to expand and diversify our offering. Through this purchase, and through the additional financial firepower it lends us, we can ramp up activity across key services and significantly grow our output, helping us to support engineering best practice across a growing customer base.”
