Helios Technologies, Inc. announced that both Regional Operational Centers of Excellence (?CoE?) for its Hydraulics segment in North America have been fully operational since the fourth quarter of 2023. The facility expansion in Mishawaka, Indiana is now the Hydraulic Manifold Solutions CoE. Helios added 50,000 square feet to the existing 72,000 square foot facility.

It serves as the hub for manifold machining and integrated package assembly operations, consolidating operations from Sun Hydraulics, Faster Inc., and Daman Products into a North American center for integrated hydraulics solutions. Schultes Precision Manufacturing provides enhanced support for diversified machining and aided with the machining of manifolds during the transition. The Hydraulic Manifold Solutions CoE has reached strong throughput levels supporting approximately $100 million in run-rate annual revenues, up from approximately $30 million from one year ago and allows for future growth.

Additionally, Faster?s North American quick release coupling order fulfillment has been relocated from Maumee, Ohio to one of the Sun Hydraulics facilities in Sarasota, Florida. This facility is now the Hydraulic Valve and Coupling Solutions CoE. This transfer streamlines operations, provides space for future coupling manufacturing, and facilitates technological advancements through Robert E. Koski Center of Engineering Innovation, enabling the creation of cutting-edge hydraulic solutions for valued customers.
