HFT is sole distributor for Hengst Filtration

Third Quarter 2022 Hydraulic systems & components

Following the acquisition of Rexroth Filtration by Hengst Filtration in 2021, Hytec Fluid Technology (HFT) has been appointed the sole distributor of Hengst Filtration products to customers across sub-Saharan Africa. Hengst has been developing sophisticated filtration solutions for more than 60 years, to guarantee long and safe runtime of engines and systems. HFT is proud to extend these solutions to local customers.

HFT now offers the Hengst range of hydraulic filters for industrial and mobile hydraulic applications previously manufactured by Rexroth Filtration. This includes breather filters, tank-mounted filters/return-line filters, inline filters, block-mounting filters, suction and replacement cartridge filters, and filter elements. In addition, HFT will now offer customers the OPM-II oil cleanliness monitor and the WGM-Aqua Sensor from the Hengst range of condition monitoring solutions.

HFT extends the same support to the Hengst Filtration product range as it did with Bosch Rexroth Filtration. It is now the preferred industrial filtration range within HFT and is fitted to all hydraulic power unit (HPU) builds as a standard. Hengst guarantees that its filter products conform to all international standards and regulations, enhancing performance and lowering total cost of ownership. Hengst Filtration is an ISO accredited organisation, certified compliant with ISO 45001:2018, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015.

Bosch Rexroth’s commitment is that the Hengst products will be the preferred product range for at least the next five years. Hengst and Bosch Rexroth have also contractually agreed to minimum off-take of products and pricing schedules.
