International orientation

Röchling Hydroma perfectly fits into the strategic orientation of the expansive Röchling Engineering Plastics Group, and decisively strengthened its competitive position in the business segment of "Cutting Boards" for soft material cutting and food preparation.

Sandt-Hydroma developed and supplied complete cutting installations including cutting dies and cutting boards for the production of leather seat covers for the automotive industry. Another important market was the shoe industry, which was supplied with cutting machines, cutting boards, special machines and tools. Obviously since then we count all other industrial branches, which cut soft materials, as our customers.

World-wide contacts

Already in this early phase of Hydroma's history world-wide contacts to end-users, distributors and suppliers to all industrial branches were established. With the competence Hydroma introduced cutting machines and since October 1980 cutting boards as well to the market, resulted at the beginning of the 80's in a remarkable growth of the cutting board business and finally 1986 in the investment of a press moulding installation for plastics.

The manufacture of machines was stopped. Hydroma transferred extensive experience in cutting boards innovatively to the own production process and application of raw materials.
