Hydraulic Controls, Inc. announces the acquisition of Ace Hydraulic Sales & Service located in Bakersfield, CA. Ace Hydraulic has been servicing the Kern County area since 1963, providing sales and service to a wide variety of industries including agriculture, oil field, railroad and tractor dealers. They pride themselves on being a single source for fluid power solutions. This addition to HCI’s already impressive footprint in the Pacific Southwest announces our expanding presence in the oil and gas industry.

As announced at the end of last year, Aaron Piper has taken the reins as president of Hydraulic Controls, Inc. His vision for HCI is to grow organically as well as through acquisition and product expansion. With our latest strategic acquisitions and sales initiatives, 2018 is looking to be quite a beginning for our new president.

At this year’s World Ag Expo, CFS debuts the newest member of their crop services fleet, and yes, it is an unmanned sprayer. Mark Woods (HCI Fresno) and Scott Mallory (MCDS) were privileged to be a part of the development of this revolutionary advancement in the ag industry.
