Starting out in Stanley St, West Melbourne with just a handful of employees the company quickly gained a reputation for providing high quality hydraulic solutions. (IHS) was officially registered in 1973. By 1979 it had outgrown it’s West Melbourne site and moved to Nott St, Port Melbourne. Purchasing this property enabled IHS to set up a purpose built factory to stream line it’s operations. Conti
nued growth through servicing the local market and exporting throughout south east Asia meant that once again IHS required larger premises. 391 Plummer St was purchased in 2000 which allowed the company to continue it’s expansion.
371 Plummer St was purchased in 2007. The existing building was demolished and a state of the art office and factory was constructed effectively doubling the available floor space. This continued growth and investment meant that IHS was able to become a worldwide supplier of hydraulic products and solutions.
