In the first years, Hidromek produced parts such as pumps and torque converters for construction machines. In the following years, Hidromek was engaged in the business of producing and assembling loader and digger attachments on the agricultural tractors and converting them into a construction machine. In 1989, Hidromek produced its first original machine, the first backhoe loader. In 1999, Hidromek made its first international sale to Tunisia. In 2000, Hidromek produced the first excavator. Production and assembly facilities are located in Ankara and Izmir, overseas production and assembly facilities are located in Spain, Russia and Thailand.[4] In 2013, Hidromek acquired the Motor Grader unit of Japanese machinery manufacturer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.[5][6][7][8]
