History
[edit]In 1959, Aksel Kyed and Kjeld W. Jensen started the company "Kyed and Werner Jensen", which at that time were involved in two different business areas,district heatingand the fabrication ofhydraulicdigging equipment.
In 1960, the company was split, and Kjeld W. Jensen started Hydrema. Back then the headquarters were placed inAalborg.
In 1962, the company moved to Støvring. At that time Hydrema had 15 workers and an area of 320 m².
In 1971, a daughter company was established in Norway, followed by Sweden in 1979, the formerWest Germanyin 1981, England in 1985 and France in 1988. There are many countries like the United States, Australia andPoland,that import machines from the Hydrema factories in Denmark and from 1997 in Germany.
In 1980, Hydrema started producing their own machines from scratch. They started with the Hydrema 800-series, which were a new line ofbackhoe loadersproduced fully in-house. Except for theengines,made byPerkins Enginesin England (Today most machines are fitted with Cummins engines, though). Before 1980, Hydrema boughttractorsfrom companies likeVolvo,and mounted their own hydraulic equipment to the tractors.
In 1983, Hydrema started producing their owndump trucksand in a short period in the late 1980s, they also produced mobile buildingcranes.
In 1990, the Hydrema 800-series were replaced by the Hydrema 900-series, which had a newchassisand more powerfulaxlesand digging arm (backhoe).
