Poclain says “this upstream integration of a castings company is the result of a long term strategic approach. This acquisition will foster productive synergies, increasing the added value beneficial to the customers of both companies.

“With its international expertise and financial capacity, Poclain will enable Grandry Technologies to accelerate its international business development and support its long-term investment plan.

Grandry Technologies brings to Poclain its expertise in highly cored castings, essential components in the design and performance of hydrostatic transmissions. It specialises in the manufacturing of complex moulded parts from nodular cast iron. ISO TS16949 certified and known for its industrial excellence, Grandry Technologies is a valued supplier to sectors such as heavy duty vehicles and construction machinery all over the world.

After three decades of strong business growth driven by growing market diversification, Poclain Hydraulics decided in 2015 to bring together all its expertise under one name Poclain. The traditional Poclain Hydraulics activities involve designing, manufacturing and marketing hydrostatic transmissions for ‘off-road’ machines and heavy duty vehicles.
