Hydrasearch

Hydrasearch was founded in 1962 by Willard G. Triest in Annapolis, Maryland, to research and manufacture hydraulic valves and component devices. In the 1970s it focused on hydraulic control systems for the government and fueling-at-sea equipment for the US Navy, and in 1989 it became a Naval Sea Systems Command Qualified Product Listing (QPL) vendor.

The company acquired Technical Products (1995), the Deutsch Metal Components field-attachable hose and fitting line (1998) and the Aeroquip Marine Military product line (2022), and merged with sister company Buck Algonquin in 2010. It is part of The Dixon Group. Its Stevensville facility includes a machine shop, tube bending, CMM, in-house chemical analysis for metals, 3D printing and scanning, finite element analysis and flow simulation. Hydrasearch is AS9100D certified.
