THE COMPANY

From our manufacturing base on the South Coast of England and for more than 30 years Hydro-Dynamic Products has led the field as a manufacturer and distributor of pressroom consumable products to the printing industry worldwide.

HDP has broken new ground in adopting an environmentally responsible approach to the manufacture and disposal of chemicals, solvents and fountain solutions as well as an in-house range of damper covers, wash-up blades and guillotine cutting sticks.

As befits a company at the forefront of innovation in the print sector, HDP invests extensively in Research and Development. Supported by a high-tech laboratory, our team of experienced chemists ensure that our customers get the best formulations translated to successful products. First.

Our desire to be the best at our business rolls out into a concern to be the cleanest. We encourage the use of safer alternatives to basic chemicals and have underpinned this desire with positive action. The HDP Waste Management Scheme offers bespoke environmental solutions for every customer. Good practice begins at home and we have made an absolute commitment to our own waste management programme. Our own consumption of containers has been slashed by 70% through the collection, cleaning and re-using of all containers. The returned drums are granulated at the end of their useful life and the residue recycled at the plastic extrusion plant - an industry first.

We maintain a constant watch over technological improvement in solvent and fount solution formulations, applying the FOGRA approval rating to ensure customer satisfaction. End user safety is a critical concern. We supply over 2,300 UK printers and converters from 10 service locations via a highly trained salesforce of experienced technicians. We understand printers' needs and undertake to offer professional advice and support at all times during the print process.

 
With agents, distributors and licensed manufacturers in over 70 countries, HDP are able to offer printers worldwide an efficient and cost-effective service. From the USA to Japan pressrooms run better with HDP products.

Our commitment to technology transfer and a close co-operation with the world's leading graphic art suppliers based on the ISO 9001 quality standard and pioneering work in alternative press chemistry means that HDP are the first choice partner for printers.
