About Us

Founded in 1983 by Gilles Mailhot, ITI Hydraulik made its debut in Quebec in the Lanaudiere region, standing out in the field of hydraulics, particularly in the maintenance of agricultural heavy machinery.

Over the years, the company has progressively shifted to the field of vertical transport and set up several innovations that led it to stand out from the competition, such as synchronized telescopic cylinders and more compact hydraulic submersible power units. In 2010, a US location was added in Andrews, South Carolina.
