As a global leader in fluid power technologies, HYDAC International has operations in over 50 countries. Its Australian branch, headquartered in Victoria, specialises in the engineering, manufacturing, and testing of hydraulic systems. HYDAC is committed to innovation and quality, and its advanced facilities support local manufacturing, thermal system testing, and technical training.
A cornerstone of HYDAC’s workforce development strategy is its apprenticeship program, which it delivers in partnership with the Australian Industry Group and local TAFE institutes. While HYDAC staff provide hands-on technical training and mentoring support, apprentices develop cutting-edge skills on real-world projects—such as building control panels, commissioning hydraulic systems, and working on solar-battery hybrid systems.
HYDAC’s apprenticeship program is preparing adaptable, future-ready professionals for long-term careers in engineering, automation, and technical leadership. The company’s “grow your own” philosophy is reinforcing a culture of continuous development and talent sustainability in Australia’s manufacturing and industrial landscape.
