I went to their website and couldnt find anything about where it is made, never thought about looking at their old posts.

Well, more vendors are joining us each day. In Oklahoma, the Livestock Shed recently added HydrauLink (I and II) to their inventory! You can visit their stores or order online.

You guys should be ashamed, Now Made in China

Interesting. I see that the company spokesman that posts here has not posted an update since August 3rd. He usually replys to any posts here. Wonder if he's no longer with the company and if it has anything to do with the mfg move to China? He was touting a price reduction a few months back.

Their web site still says this.

[ HydrauLink is built to ISO 9000 standards in the USA by good old American robots under the close supervision of humans. The welding is all done by robots in order to keep everything uniform and to eliminate the possibility of errors. ]

Nothing about Made in China.

You reckon it is still built to ISO 9000 standards, and does that standard mean anything to a foreign country.

Have you found out why the price hasn't decreased cause I'm wondering the same thing?

Hi everybody. So sorry for the delayed response. I usually get a notification if someone posts here. I'm not sure why I didn't this time. I actually jumped on to post a recent article written up about HydrauLink at 'Wine Business Monthly'. Wine Business Monthly

Wow! When I saw Hydraulink actually replied i kinda assumed they would explain the "made in China" issue brought up in the previous posts. Guess not. Nothing like ignoring an elephant in the room.

I see there is some confusion as to the location of our manufacturer. Here's the whole story.

Originally, we set out to have all of our units made in the USA, and we did. However, we encountered a lot of price resistence and we worked hard to cut where we could but in the end, we just weren't able to get the category I units under the $200 price (retail) that we needed. So, this year we had to look at the alternative: a foreign manufacturer. But that can be tricky. Maintaining quality and reliability while getting a good price is no easy task. There are many cheaper options out there but not many that make a superior quality product as well.

We kept our US manufacturer who still makes units for dealers who want to them. I believe that Surplus Center is selling them now.

Our other units are manufactured to the same specifications (ISO 9000). The company's home office is in Kansas City but the units are manufactured in China.

To be fair though, we have pulled references from our flyers and website claiming all units to be 'made in the USA' to avoid any confusion which apparently didn't work. I'll need to address this further.

No, I was typing. You got to give me a minute. I'm not fast at this.
