Who We Are

Excel began in a single car garage in Toongabbie, NSW in 1989. From these humble beginnings came Excel Hydraulics Pty, now operating out of three 200 m2 industrial units in Smithfield NSW and housing a dynamic team of fourteen people.

As well as being in the humble business of providing a valuable service, we also supply modern, innovative fluid power and maintenance solutions. We are focused on you, the customer, and how we can provide you with a complete solution.

The Excel Manifesto

To maintain high integrity and business ethics

To treat each employee as a dignified individual

To continually refine all aspects of our business

To solve problems creatively and efficiently

To keep business pleasurable
