Our History

Established in the mid-1980s under the UK owned Simon Group of Companies as Simon Hydraulics and Pneumatics, our customers soon applauded our service orientation and innovation.

Our three operations in Brisbane, Newcastle and Perth allowed us to meet the needs of customers in a range of industries including mining, industrial and agricultural.  In the late 1990s customer need saw us expand into Sydney, Melbourne and Emerald.

The Simon Group of Companies exited the Australian market in 1999 and on Christmas Eve that same year the Simon Hydraulics and Pneumatics Australian management team purchased the Australian business and took over operations from 1 January 2000, forming Custom Fluidpower.
