For decades, DHX has been a leader in bespoke hydraulic solutions where precision, power and reliability aren’t just goals they’re requirements. From bespoke systems and cylinders to complex power units and manifolds, DHX supports demanding applications across sectors such as defence, nuclear, renewable energy, oil and gas, industrial automation and specialised infrastructure.
Built on Experience Expertise That Matters
A 60-year journey in fluid power doesn’t happen without generations of experience being handed down, tested and expanded upon. At DHX, many team members have been part of that journey for more than a decade a testament to the company culture and the technical challenges that attract long-term specialists.
This longevity delivers real advantages:
- Unmatched technical depth: Years of solving complex hydraulic challenges sharpen intuitive understanding of fluid power behaviour.
- Cross-sector insights: Working across defence, industrial, renewable, nuclear and oil & gas means the team brings tailored solutions honed by varied environments.
- Reliability by design: Hands-on experience with design, fabrication, testing and installation reduces risk and improves delivery performance.
From early concept stages through prototyping, manufacturing, and testing in their own facilities, DHX engineers collaborate closely with customers to deliver systems that perform exactly as required even under extreme conditions.

Strengthened by Kinetic Solutions Group
DHX’s heritage remains at the core of its identity but today, that heritage is amplified by being part of the Kinetic Solutions Group.
This wider group brings together specialist engineering organisations with complementary capabilities.
For DHX, it means:
Broader access to technical resources and cross-discipline knowledge.
Closer collaboration across group companies, enhancing both innovation and delivery.
Stronger market presence and support networks, while maintaining the hands-on expertise DHX is known for
Importantly, this group alignment builds on DHX’s strengths rather than replacing them, the same people, the same engineering passion and the same commitment to solving fluid power challenges that customers have trusted for decades.
A Culture Of Commitment
Long-serving teams like DHX don’t appear by accident they are built over time in an environment where engineers and technicians are supported, developed and genuinely valued. At DHX, continuous learning sits alongside decades of hands-on experience, ensuring the team remains aligned with evolving industry standards and modern hydraulic technologies while retaining the practical knowledge that only time in the field can bring. With in-house machining, fabrication, assembly and testing facilities, quality is embedded into every stage of the process, allowing for precision, consistency and full control from concept through to commissioning.
Crucially, many of our most experienced engineers are now passing that knowledge on to the next generation, mentoring young DHX apprentices and sharing the skills, standards and problem-solving mindset that have defined the business for 60 years. This blend of heritage, innovation and knowledge transfer creates a culture where expertise is protected, talent is nurtured and customers benefit from both proven experience and fresh perspective.
The Legacy and Future
While DHX is proud of its history, it’s equally focused on shaping the future of hydraulics.
With decades of experience fueling ongoing innovation, and the added strength of the Kinetic Solutions Group, DHX is uniquely positioned to tackle tomorrow’s fluid power challenges whether in new renewables applications, cutting edge infrastructure, or evolving industrial demands.
Because if hydraulics power machinery, it’s the people at DHX who power the solutions.
