Motrac Industries, with its locations in Zutphen and Papendrecht, the Netherlands, and Willich, Germany, employs 110 staff and has nearly 70 years of experience in hydraulic engineering. In recent years, the company has successfully expanded into electric drive systems. Motrac Industries is the distributor for Linde Hydraulics in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Poland, and maintains supplier relationships with leading parties.
