Our goal was to be up and running as quickly as possible to support our customers. We are very pleased to announce the reopening of two of our three Sun Hydraulics’ manufacturing facilities in Sarasota as of today, only six days after this Category 3 hurricane made landfall.”

I am incredibly proud of how our local Sun Hydraulics team worked tirelessly, with support from our global Helios businesses, as we recover from this weather-driven disaster. It is a testament to the incredible people that we have in our organization and the shared values that we all live by every day,” said Rick Martich, President of Hydraulics, Americas of Helios.
