HydraSpecma expands Nordic platform with strategic acquisition of Norwegian hydraulics specialist Hyco AS

07 April 2026

As of April 1st, HydraSpecma has acquired Stavanger-based Hyco AS, strengthening its technical capabilities and local presence in Norway. The acquisition supports HydraSpecma’s ambition to become the preferred partner for advanced industrial solutions across the Nordic region.

Since acquiring Specma Group in 2016, HydraSpecma has established Denmark, Sweden, and Finland as core markets. With Hyco AS, Norway now becomes a prioritised home market completing HydraSpecma’s Nordic platform. The acquisition reflects increasing demand for integrated hydraulic and software-driven solutions in the Norwegian industrial sector.

Hyco AS brings strong capabilities in hydraulic system design and software programming and is a long-standing integration partner of Danfoss Power Solutions. These capabilities complement HydraSpecma’s existing Nordic setup and strengthen its ability to deliver integrated, high-value solutions to customers.

The addition of Hyco marks an important step in completing our Nordic platform and strengthening our position in Norway. Hyco brings strong technical capabilities within system design and software that complement our existing setup. Most importantly, we are excited to welcome the Hyco team to HydraSpecma. Together, we will enhance our ability to deliver integrated, high-value solutions to customers across the region.” – Helena Grubb, Vice President, HydraSpecma IAM & OEM Division.

With the acquisition, HydraSpecma will serve the Norwegian market from facilities in Kleppe near Stavanger (former Hyco), Flekkefjord, and Kristiansand – strengthening local presence and customer proximity.

Joining HydraSpecma represents a natural next step for Hyco. We share a strong customer-centric mindset, deep technical expertise, and a commitment to long-term partnerships. Becoming part of HydraSpecma provides us with a broader platform, new capabilities, and access to a strong Nordic network, enabling us to accelerate our growth while continuing to deliver high-quality solutions to our customers.” - Frode Reve, Majority Shareholder of Hyco AS.

HydraSpecma and Hyco have a strong cultural match and shared ambition for future growth in the Norwegian market.

We have known Frode Reve and Hyco for more than 12 years. Our shared values around customer focus, hydraulic competence, flexibility, and accountability form a strong and healthy acquisition rationale. By welcoming the Hyco team into the HydraSpecma family and infrastructure, we believe we can elevate the business to the next level and execute an ambitious growth plan for the Norwegian market,” says Morten Kjær, Group CEO, HydraSpecma.
