Q4 2003

Hydrotechnik reports static sales for the 4th quarter 2003 ending 31st December, sales were almost exactly the same over the same period in 2002. Sales were good across all the product areas. The total year (2003) end sales are up significantly over 2002 financial year.Results were especially helped by Filtertechnik Divisional sales and sales of the recently improved range of Intelligent Filter Trollies.

New products launched during the quarter was the GSM Telemetry option for the PC9000 on-line particle counter. the GSM telemetry allows real time contamination to be advised by Text message to a mobile phone or email. Alarms for rising contamination are a major part of the feature set. Applications are widespread from OEMs of hydraulic and lubrication plant through to all large manufacturing plant, power generation, pulp and paper etc.

2003 saw the company sucessfully divisionalise into three distinct trading divisions:

HYDROTECHNIK for pressure, temperature and flow hydraulic test equipment including MINIMESS

FILTERTECHNIK for filtration and particle counting, the Schroeder brand Intelligent Filter Trollies and PC9000 are key elements to the sucess of this division.

FLOW TECHNIK for flow meter sales and related instrumantation, for which Macnaught is a key brand, other flowmeters are also catered for and the division aims to be a one stop shop for flowmeters and instrumentation.

Q3 2003

HT report strong sales 15% up over 2002 thanks to good performance by all divisions. Results are particulary good when the OEM market is considered, the quater saw significantly reduced supply to its off road customers CAT and Belle Engineering.

"The final quater looks promising, with an excellent order book and new Filtertechnik contacts under our belt" describes Richard Price of Hydrotechnik.

Q2 2003

Good sales for the quarter are reported by Hydrotechnik in an extremely difficult market. Up by 16% over the same quarter in 2002.

The quarter saw the purchase of Schroeder Industries, a major supplier, by Hydac GmbH. The situation has actually strenghtened the filtration supply through the Filtertechnik division. An open letter to customers describes the situation in more detail. Filtertechnik will now be able to supply certain European Countries and is to remain the UK source and mater importer of the Schroeder product.

The Filtertechnik division can now forge ahead with a clear mandate and focus on its complete filter solution package(s) a project that has major benefits for customers such as Corus, CMB and SKF.

Other develpments in the quarter were the launch of two new corporate identity catalogues for FILTERTECHNIK and FLOWTECHNIK and continuing product expansions in the flow and test markets.

 

Q1 2003

2003 G1 results are a record for the company reports Richard Price, MD of HYdrotechnik.

The quarter saw the successful divisionalisation of the company into 3 areas; Hydrotechnik for test equipment, Filtertechnik for the filter products and Flowtechnik for flow & related instrumentation.

Nick Dennis of Schroeder Industries joins us from April 1st to continue to strengthen the Filtertechnik team as the company seeks to continue to develop a managed filtration and contamination service to our customer base. Early warning of contamination issues is proving to be a valuabe service to our customers as we prevent castastropic failures to plant and machinery.

Les Hughes will implement the sales plan for Flowtechnik which seek to provide complete Flow metering and instrumentation solutions to industry.

The next quarter looks promising reports Mike Benzies, director at Hydrotechnik with a host of new products and sales initatives the quarter looks to be a strong one for us.

The PC9000 is truly a revolutionary product that will sell well into the 2003 year reports Richard Price MD. "We have advance orders but are not releasing product until jan 2003 owing to a software issue" says mike Benzies of Hydrotechnik. The issue revolves around the trending software which is being updated and prepared for all operating platforms. Applications are widespread from OEMs of hydraulic and lubrication plant through to all large manufacturing plant, power generation, pulp and paper etc.

"2003 promises to be our best year ever, new products, contunuing market share gains and new staff additions will all help to drive sales" reports Richard Price Another initiative for 2003 is to divisionalise the company into 3 distinct areas:

1. Hydrotechnik: will continue to develop sales of Pressure test and data logging equipment for hydraulic systems

2. Filtertechnik: will focus its efforts on filtration and particle counting, the Schroeder brand and PC9000 are key elements to the sucess of this division.

3. Flowtechnik: will focus on developing the flow meter sales, for which Macnaught is a key brand, other flowmeters are also catered for and the division aims to be a one stop shop for flowmeters and related instrumentation.

Q3 2002

Schroeder filter sales were also strong for the period with the new Ford contact beginning to make an impact on revenues. A new Oil / Fluid analysis service was also launched during the period which will add depth to the filter line up and help service all accounts in the future.

Q4 2001

Hydrotechnik reports a sales 'hold' for the last quarter of 2001. The period was slow with many customers putting off upgrade purchases of new 5050 instruments until Q1 or Q2 2002. December, however saw Hydrotechnik winning the filter supoply contract for the whole of Ford motors UK in plant filtration. "This is a major step forward" reports Richard Price MD of Hydrotechnik "and it confirms the Companies ability to supply a whole range of product to meet a customers one stop shop needs" Similar contracts for Rail and Steel were won in 2001. "2002 is expected to start well for Hydrotechnik as we enter the year with a full orderbook"

Hydrotechnik reports sales still holding up in the Quarter ending 30.9.2001. Sales were up by 4% over the same quarter in 2000. "This was a difficult quarter" reported Richard Price MD, "Command Hydratech was a drain on our manpower resourses and the company going into liquidation in August is very dissapointing. Most accounts are now handled either directly or via Ovalway hydraulics one of our regional distributors who hired an ex Command employee. The debt is covered by insurance."

"The Command incident coupled with a general downturn in many markets has made the sales focus of the business our primary objective for the last quarter of 2001. The new 5050 instrument is now here and is selling well, we have very generous offers on 5000 unit trade ins". We have re-structured for the final quarter which has lead to one redundancy.

This quarter also saw the launch of the Hydrotechnik web store which started taking orders the day it was launched. This sales channel will be used for promoting the entire range of products as well as a convenient method of selling bundled special offers.

The quarter also saw the COMECO range of products being added into the product line up. This massive range of level, temperature and process displays and controllers will compliment the existing product range very well.

Q2 2001

HydrotecHnik reports lower than expected sales in Q2 ending 30th June 2001. Sales were down by 3.3% over the same quarter in 2000, however, after such a strong start to the year 2001 expectations were raised that Q2 would also be strong.

Many OEMs re-scheduled deliveries over the quarter reflecting a general slowdown in many markets. Hydrotechnik is due to launch new hand held instruments in Q3 and the news of this affected sales in Q2.

Hydrotechnik 3050 and 5050 instuments will add to sales in the next quarter, with many customers having pre-ordered the equipment. A major new product range featuring level and expanded temperature measuring and control will help in the coming months reports Richard Price, MD of Hydrotechnik.
