Our history
Axiom Hydraulics began with marketing hose and fittings to the budding hydraulics industry within South Africa. In 1968, we added the distribution of hydraulic equipment to our offerings, which proved to be a decisive move as the company could now offer comprehensive system solutions to a market where these were lacking.
In 1971, Axiom Hydraulics moved to newer premises in Heidelberg Road, Johannesburg. Around this time, we were appointed sole distributors for Sunstrand Hydro Transmissions – later becoming ‘Sauer Sunstrand’. With high costs and limited capabilities, the industrial torque converted and battery electric transmissions were quickly becoming a detriment to the mobile industry, hence the hydrostatic transmission was introduced, being far more efficient and compact.
With our expertise and internationally renowned products, they successfully fulfilled this demand, boasting no less than 20 000 loco hydrostatic drive conversion installations.
Our next developments were in opening branches in KwaZulu-Natal and Cape Town, as demand became increasingly localised. Adding another feather in the Axiom cap was the successful addition of the SUN Hydraulics cartridge valve range in 1992.
Today, Axiom continues to be a market leader within southern Africa’s fluid power industry, representing a range of successful hydraulics brands, including Brevini, Black Bruin, Ausco, ASA, Fairfield, Gaurdex, Sun Hydraulics and HCT.
Our most recent milestone is our new 5 500-m2 facility in Wadeville, Johannesburg.
At Axiom Hydraulics, we have a unique business ethics and philosophy:
- Respect the dignity of every individual and to be courteous at all times
