These products address a larger range of applications allowing customers to create a more complete and customized integrated package solution.”

Sun Hydraulics is working with Taimi to integrate Taimi’s Swivel Cartridges into both the Sun Catalogue and the Sun QuickDesign™ program. This complementary technology allows Taimi’s uniquely designed components to synergize with Sun’s conventional high quality hydraulic solutions to enter new end markets. These include forestry, marine, offshore, robotics, cranes, underground and open pit mining, construction and demolition, agriculture, railway construction and maintenance, solar power, drilling and material handling.

Helios shares this news just weeks after announcing another year of record product line and technological innovation within its Hydraulic segment. The new offerings are expected to begin shipping between the second and third quarter of 2023.

Faster S.r.l., a separate Helios operating company, has been working with Taimi since October 2020 through a collaborative distribution arrangement and further exemplifies the integration strategy in place.
