Company Profile
"Hydram is committed to achieving World Class standards across all functions."
Established in 1977, Hydram occupies a 70,000 square foot site conveniently situated close to junction 60 of the A1 in County Durham and provides the full range of subcontract engineering services. Over the years Hydram has built a reputation for customer service, quality, competitive prices and on-time delivery. The business has continually invested in the latest production technology and capacity to ensure that its sheet metal processes are flexible, precise and efficient.
Hydram supplies components and fabrications to market-leading companies in industries such as construction, shop fitting and display, lighting, earth-moving machinery and white goods. Hydram's work can be seen in Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Royal Mail depots and Boeing 737 aircraft and on projects including the Royal Opera House and Heathrow Terminal 5.
“Since its inception Hydram has been a positive, forward looking business. As a company we have always embraced new ideas, invested in people and machines and always tried to have an eye on the future. The decision to strive towards becoming a truly World Class business was formalised in 2007. We have built a world class customer base; many of these companies allowed us to visit their sites and learn from their experiences. In total, over 80% of the workforce has visited companies including Nissan, Komatsu and Cummins Engines.
The commitment made by Hydram has been substantial. It has involved training on the 5S method, the principles of lean manufacturing and creating and sustaining an improvement culture. In addition to this, Hydram seconded two staff members for 18 months to be trained as improvement engineers, with the help of NEPA, The North East Productivity Alliance.
Being world class is not just about improving production efficiencies but also about improving every aspect of the business, including developing and maintaining good relationships with customers.
The journey continues and Hydram moves ever closer towards becoming a world class business.”
