History of Hydrive

Hydrive’s development into one of the nation’s leading companies in the industry has been characterised by revolutionary innovations and developments, sensitivity and commitment, as well as special milestones. The decisive factor for founding the company was the idea of offering highly qualified engineers in the region around Dresden a serious, professional perspective – as an alternative to far-away large-scale mechanical and vehicle engineering companies.

2005

The success story of Hydrive began in 2005 when Dr-Ing. Thomas Neubert founded Neubert Engineering with two employees.

2010

The rapidly growing company is renamed Hydrive Engineering GmbH in 2010. This company expansion by the two founders Prof. Dr Jürgen Weber and Dr-Ing. Thomas Neubert is continuously characterised by innovative strength. This was also the case with the creation of the company name, which is based on the connections between hydraulics and drive and control technology, the professional domains of the two founders.

2015

With its move to the Freital Technology Centre on the outskirts of Dresden to an office space of over 200 m², Hydrive is continuing to drive forward its research and development of technical solutions. After all, with its university, other technical colleges, 10 Fraunhofer institutes and several chip factories, Dresden is one of the most important technology locations in Europe.

2016

Since 2016, Dr Hilmar Jähne has been supporting Hydrive as a new shareholder and managing director, creating further growth prospects.

2018

Due to its continuous company growth, Hydrive is expanding its office space at the Freital Technology Centre.

2022

Hydrive is once again expanding its office space at its location near Dresden. With this expansion and the new showroom for demonstrators and simulators, the foundation has been laid for further, future company growth.

Activities and Awards

We demand the highest level of engineering development from ourselves. That’s why we maintain close cooperation with our customers and are also committed to education and research. Our certifications document our claim and our motivation as well as the competence and qualification of the entire team.
