In June 2008, Hercules Fluid Power Group acquired a Dutch company
" Snijders Engineering BV ”. Snijders Engineering is based in Southern Netherlands near the Belgian and German borders.

Snijders is a strong growing distributor of hydraulic seals and hoses for Hydraulic mobile equipment, marine and industrial applications. The growth of Snijders was built upon quick deliveries from a very large stock and from good technical knowledge about hydraulic applications.

Snijders will be the base for the European Hercules headquarters and central European warehouse.

Hercules Europe has intentions on becoming the leading European independent distributor of aftermarket hydraulic seals.
