Company website

Known for its expertise in hydraulic technologies, HydroArmor designs, develops, produces, and tests complex hydraulic systems and solutions. Its design office, testing capabilities, and factory enable it to deliver custom-made, cutting-edge products that are highly reliable and durable.

Beyond offering great flexibility in use, hydraulic propulsion provides vessels with excellent maneuverability, superior hydrodynamic efficiency, and easy maintenance. In environmental terms, these hydraulic solutions also improve energy efficiency and durability.

Hydro-Armor has recently developed a hybrid propulsion solution (hydraulic and electric) that helps preserve marine ecosystems by significantly reducing polluting emissions. Two vessels have been equipped with this system to date. This type of innovation demonstrates that Hydro-Armor is at the forefront of the transition to more sustainable, environmentally friendly maritime practices.

The company is a unique player in a vast and expanding market, encompassing river transport of goods and passengers, aquaculture, shellfish farming, and support vessels for offshore wind platforms.

Hydro-Armor has built customer loyalty through reliable, robust products that adapt to difficult navigation conditions, even at low tide.
