In 1970, Robert E. Koski and John Allen co-founded Sun Hydraulics Corporation, Sarasota, Florida, to develop and manufacture screw-in hydraulic cartridge valves and manifolds for industrial and mobile markets. In January 1997, Sun became a publically traded company on the NASDAQ stock exchange, trading under the symbol SNHY. The Company has paid a dividend every quarter since going public.
Sun Hydraulics designs and manufactures high performance screw-in hydraulic cartridge valves and manifolds which are used to control force, speed and motion as integral components in fluid power systems. Sun’s products allow machine designers to develop innovative and efficient control systems for all types of capital goods. Our hydraulic valves and packaged manifold systems work accurately and reliably, no matter how demanding the application.
Sun’s cartridge valves provide pressure, flow, logic, directional and load control and are available in up to 5 sizes (capacities). Flow capacity ranges up to 400 gallons per minute and cartridges are designed to operate at pressures up to 5,000 pounds per square inch. Sun’s standard manifolds are offered in an almost limitless variety, including direct mount, line mount, sandwiches, subplates and motor mounts. Custom manifolds can be designed for customer circuit requirements to provide a unique, application specific control system. All manifold products are offered in two basic materials – T6061 aluminum and ductile iron
