Hydramec is a well-established Offshore Engineering, Design, Manufacturing and Maintenance Company specialising in bespoke marine handling systems. Our team of engineers have a wealth of experience in all aspects of design, stress analysis, project management and will liaise with third parties such as Lloyds, DNV or BV for design approval.

We are unique in our ability to provide multiple services under one roof keeping lead-times shorter, for example, our coded welders will complete the structural steel work which is then painted by our specialist coating department. 

We aim to continue building our business and excelling within the industry. We listen to our clients and meet their demands, even if the requirements don’t meet our standard specifications, we work tirelessly to create innovative systems for our customers 

Founded in early 1990 by Peter Church, Hydramec now employs a skilled workforce of 50 staff including Hydraulic/Mechanical engineers, Fabricators/Welders and Precision Machinists at our fully equipped workshops, based in Great Yarmouth. 

The company started out repairing and maintaining a large variety or ship’s deck equipment and refurbishing ROV LARS. In 1996, we started building the first Hydramec LARS from scratch and re-evaluating what would be most important to the customer. Since then, LARS have become a core business, with a strong focus on customer service and backup. 

The well-established, family-owned business was taken over by Danny Church in 2013 after Peter and Audrey Church retired. Having worked in the company since 1992 his vision was to make Hydramec an industry leader in marine handling systems. The company is ever expanding, moving to a 36,000-foot premises in 2014 more than doubling the space in which Hydramec first started. 

CAP Fabrications was taken over by Hydramec in 2016. CAP  has now become a division of Hydramec being a very important part of the company and we are now able to offer offshore coatings using their onsite facility and a complete solution for your fabrication project.

The future for Hydramec is further expansion into new markets including military and defence as well as renewable energy and autonomous equipment.
