In 1978,
‘Oger Hydraulics’ started as a small workshop
employing three workers. The workshop's space was less
than 200 square meters, and
offered simple hydraulic repairs.
In 1984, the
company increased dramatically, trebling the space and
now employing seven workers. At this time, the concept of
a hydraulic industrial plant with the ability to deal
with all types of hydraulic production and repair,
started to take shape. The growth in space enabled for
the first time to
repair on site large industrial machinery such
as: tractors, excavators and
bulldozers
.
In 1990, the
company began to establish itself as a hydraulic plant,
operating a large repair space, employing 10 workers, and
starting a massive process of purchasing machining tools such as lathes
and milling machines.
At this point, oger hydraulics began to acquire
a vehicle fleet with the purpose of enabling repair services in
the field where possible.
In these years, the company began to invest in human capital,
acknowledging that for Oger Hydraulics, there is nothing more
important than a learned, skilled worker. To achieve that goal
began a process of sending the employees on hydraulics
qualification courses abroad to acquire deeper knowledge in
their respective specialized fields.
Those courses included: crane repair and installation,
engineering for different types of pumps and motors,
engineering for specific machines by leading manufacturers and
general hydraulics courses.
By 2000,
Oger Hydraulics could already be recognised as the
hydraulics plant we see today. That year oger hydraulics
expanded to a repair space of 2500 square meters and
employed 25 workers.
In addition to purchasing technology including lathes, milling
machines, iron-cutting machinery and hydraulic testing tools,
the company developed unique testing machines, such as a pump
testing machine and a test bench designed for testing motors,
steering units, pistons and other hydraulic components.
The company’s development has enabled it to handle with ever
increasing project size and complexity, and has also started
attracting a clientele of large institutions, both private and
public, such as the Israeli Defence Force and the Ministry of
Defence, the iron industry, the construction industry
and the
petroleum industry, the national
ports and many more.
With the years Oger
Hydraulics has adopted 5 principles, which guide its way
of operating:
·
Honesty above all else
·Total
loyalty to the client
·A
job is done exceedingly professionally or not at
all
·
Testing, testing, and testing again. No product, manufactured
or repaired, is to leave the factory without a dry
run.
·Professional
assistance over time. Oger Hydraulics accompanies the
client as long as is necessary, long after the client has
exited the factory's gates.
