Founded in Frankfurt in 1983, the former Racine team grew rapidly and gradually developed Universal Hydraulik GmbH into an independent company.

In 1984, the company secured the Bosch distributorship for Hesse, followed by the Racine distributorship for Europe in 1985. This laid the foundation for high-quality products combined with technical expertise.

In 1992 and 1993, the distribution of various heat exchanger manufacturers (Thermal Transfer, Nissens, Thermowave, and WTT) added further products requiring explanation. This established the foundation for the company's expertise in thermodynamics.

In 1993, the company moved into its first company-owned building in Neu-Anspach.

Production capacity was expanded in 1996.

In 1999, additional infrastructure was created with the construction of another warehouse.

During this phase, the company's direction became clear. What began as a trading company evolved into a business with its own technical expertise and increasing vertical integration.

The foundation for everything that followed.
