From local specialist to international player

What began as strong, independent specialists has grown into one powerful whole. It is precisely the diversity of expertise that makes us strong: together we combine depth and breadth in one integrated group.

The roots

1879 — Doedijns

Originally started as a distributor of drive belts and developed over more than a century into a specialist in system solutions for hydraulics, pneumatics, instrumentation and controls.

1958 — Vremac Cylinders

Started as a small repair workshop and grown into a manufacturer of high-quality hydraulic cylinders with very large dimensions and capacities.

1974 — Vapo Hydraulics

Started in the agricultural sector and gradually expanded to industrial applications and later to offshore and oil & gas, with a focus on certified cylinder solutions.

1983 — Hydropack Hydraulics

Specialised from the outset in high-tech hydraulic control systems and known for complex installations for infrastructure projects.

1994 — Nube Hydraulics

Developed into a manufacturer of hydraulic manifolds and control blocks, with flexibility from single pieces to series production in various materials.

1998 — Sypack

Grown into a leading supplier of offshore fuelling tank installations and widely recognised within the maritime and naval sector.

1999 — GDM Precision Mechanics

Founded as a precision machining specialist and developed into a reliable partner for turning and milling high-quality components.

Formation

Vapo Hydraulics and Hydropack join forces and acquire Vremac Cylinders. Together with GDM, this forms the foundation of the Vydraulics Group.

Doedijns

The acquisition of Doedijns Group International, including Doedijns, Sypack and Koppen & Lethem, doubles the size of the group and strengthens its system integration capabilities.

Move to Zoetermeer

Mechatest Sampling Solutions joins via Doedijns and relocates to the site in Zoetermeer.

New facility

GDM moves to a new facility next to Vapo. Hydropack is integrated as a product group within Doedijns, and the group achieves group-wide ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification.

Nube

With the addition of Nube Hydraulics, Vydraulics strengthens its position in hydraulic manifolds and control blocks.
