  • On this International Day of Forests, we celebrate the crucial role forests play in food security, nutrition and livelihoods worldwide. Forests support the earth's biodiversity, soil fertility and water resources, and during this year’s FAO theme of ‘Forests and Food,’ we recognise the essential contribution they make, in feeding our communities and ecosystems. Here at HydraForce and Bosch Rexroth we understand the demands forestry places on feller bunchers, log loaders and other harvesting equipment. Together, our compact cartridge valves can control multiple functions on a single machine, whilst our electronic controls can automate repetitive or sequential motions and provide remote telematics for trouble-shooting and improving overall machine performance. 🌳Click here to learn more about our sustainable solutions that help forests nourish people and the planet: https://hubs.li/Q03cTNTP0 #BoschRexroth #HydraForce #Forestry #ForestDay #IntlForestDay #GenerationRestoration

  • We are excited to announce that we reached a major milestone last month, with the successful completion of our SAP S/4HANA Go-Live in the U.S.! In less than a year, we transitioned from our legacy system to a modern, high-performing ERP, optimizing business and financial processes. With our legacy system reaching end-of-life, HydraForce embraced the future with a modern, robust ERP landscape. From April 2024 to February 2025, with the expertise of Capgemini we navigated through the Foundation, Design, and Build phases, ensuring a seamless data migration without disrupting production. Now, in the Hypercare phase, we’re fine-tuning processes and optimizing performance for long-term success. Key highlights include: ✅ Streamlined Processes for efficiency and scalability ✅ On-Time, On-Budget execution ✅ Seamless Data Migration with no production disruptions This is more than an upgrade—it’s a transformation that unites us in a smarter, more scalable, and customer-focused way. This achievement is the result of incredible teamwork, preparation, and collaboration, enabling us to optimize business and financial processes! Thank you to all HydraForce Inc. associates who made this possible. Let’s continue moving forward as ONE Team, embracing the opportunities ahead! #Rexroth #HydraForce #SAP #CompactHydraulics #TogetherEvenStronger #ONETeam

  • With less than one month to go, we are excited to announce that our new Bosch Rexroth Hose Burst E-valve will be on display at this year’s bauma Munich! Perfectly suited for excavators, ranging from 08-ton to 40-tons, the E-valve provides a flexible solution, that optimises space, performance, and boasts optimal installation design. Its electronic control enables enhanced movements control, electronic pressure compensation and simple adaptation to all machines. Plus, by switching the valve to “ghost mode”, users can save energy by significantly reducing fuel consumption and the working cycle time, whilst still maintaining fine movement controllability. 📍 Go to the Source and see the E-Valve range in action, by visiting us at Bauma Munich from 7 – 13 April, in Hall A3, Booth 327! Check out this video to learn more about the E-valve, ahead of the exhibition: https://hubs.li/Q03bq2wK0 #compacthydraulics #rexroth #HydraForce #bauma #bauma2025 #Construction #constructionfuture #eValve
