Hydrosila Ukraine celebrates 100th Haas machine tool

On June 15th 2016, during a special celebration event, Ukrainian company Hydrosila marked the delivery of its 100th Haas CNC machine tool. Several VIP guests attended the event, including Jens Thing, Haas Automation Europe managing director, Wojciech Ratyński, member of the board at Abplanalp Engineering, Mr. Nikolaj Skripnik, general director of Abplanalp Ukraine, and Vitaliy Khnustudinow, managing director of Haas Factory Outlet in Ukraine. Hydrosila is made up of five factories located in Ukraine, three of them in Kirovograd, 250km south from Kiev, and the other two in Melitopol, in Sourthern Ukraine. All of the factories are owned by Hydrosila Group, which currently employs over 4000 people. The holding company has been a Haas customer since the purchase of its first two machine tools, in 2000. By mid-summer 2016 it had increased the number of its Haas machines across all factories to over 100 (currently 114). All the machines are supplied and supported by Abplanalp Ukraine Haas Factory Outlet (HFO), a member of Abplanalp holding company, the most successful Haas supplier in Central and Eastern Europe.

“We are very proud to be the supplier of Hydrosila and its affiliated companies,” said Mr. Jens Thing. “The facility and operations we have seen during our visit are extremely impressive. The company is very well organised and motivation is excellent. In fact, Hydrosila is one of the best volume-manufacturing plants I have ever seen, anywhere. We look forward to a common, successful future together. And, through the local HFO, we also look forward to supporting the growing Ukrainian manufacturing economy with our very reliable CNC machine tools.”

Hydrosila’s general director, Yuri Titov, emphasized the importance of cooperation with Haas for the development of the company’s business: “We began a full, technical modernisation of our company in 2000, by purchasing our first machine tools from Haas. The decision to invest in Haas turned out to be a very good one. We have a very reliable manufacturing base and we can make parts to consistently high standards. The support we receive from the HFO is excellent.”
