HENGST FILTRATION'S ACQUISITION OF REXROTH HYDRAULIC FILTRATION BUSINESS:

A Strategic Move for Enhanced Service in Australia

In a strategic move to reinforce its global expertise in Industrial Filtration solutions; Hengst Filtration proudly made the acquisition of the hydraulic filtration division of Bosch Rexroth AG. This global acquisition signalled the evolution of the industry, engineering innovation and demonstrates Hengst’s commitment to strengthening its presence and improving the customer experience in Australia. 

Key highlights and customer success stories for former Rexroth Filtration Customers: 

1. Seamless Transition and Continuity:

“Our first goal was to ensure a smooth and seamless transition so existing customers of Rexroth filtration division felt no disruption of service, but felt the enhanced capabilities and resources by being backed by a global specialist in filtration solutions” said James Coulter, General Manager – Australia and New Zealand. 

2. Dedicated Local Support:

To cater for enquiries and support, Hengst Australia quickly established a dedicated Australian filtration support team to service the former Rexroth Filtration customers. For immediate assistance contact, sales.australia@hengst.de or phone 02 7205–2330 to speak with our customer care team. 

3. Extensive Product Portfolio:

With the merging of industrial filtration from Rexroth and Hengst’s rich history in the filtration sector, customers from Hydraulic Repair Shops and Filtration Distributors to Mining sites can anticipate an expanded and comprehensive suite of highly engineered filtration solutions suitable for industrial applications. 

4. Upholding our filtration Legacy:

Rexroth Filtration acquired K. & H. Eppensteiner (EPE) in 2008, a German hydraulic filtration manufacturer with over 90 years manufacturing experience. EPE will continue to thrive under Hengst as we combine our filtration expertise. The Hengst Filtration story began in 1958 and is committed to ensuring that the standards that former Rexroth Filtration customers received are met and exceeded. To achieve this, Hengst Australia has invested in locally held filtration inventory and an Australian based sales & technical support team. 

5. Commitment to Excellence:

Hengst Filtration brings over sixty years of filtration innovation and engineering success. Our mission remains simple and unchanged and that is to offer our partners unmatched filtration solutions that ensure engine performance and industrial system reliability. 

 “For Hengst Australia our primary priority was ensuring that the change was as seamless as possible” said Coulter, “I am pleased to say that our former Rexroth Filtration customers have experienced that they are in capable hands and are backed by a global leader in Industrial Filtration products”.
