Why Armadillo

loading...

Founded to simplify complex hydraulic systems.

Armadillo Group has become a trusted partner for industrial, agricultural and mining clients across Australia and beyond. With deep industry knowledge and a tailored approach, we bring our highly specialised hydraulics expertise to meet your projects’ needs.

Armadillo Group has been family-owned and operated since David Richardson and his son Alistair, both former farmers, recognised a need for machinery operators to access better lubrication solutions. Initially focusing on the import and wholesale of premium lubricants, we quickly developed a reputation for quality products and exceptional customer service.

By 2007, we’d built a loyal customer base. Some of these customers, particularly OEMs, were frustrated at the existing hydraulics supply chain. One of our customers asked, ‘Why don’t you guys get into hydraulics? Your customer service would go a long way!’ This sparked a new venture for Armadillo: expanding our expertise into the hydraulics sector.

For over a decade, our lubricants and hydraulic divisions grew side-by-side. However, in 2019, after a lubricants company expressed interest in acquiring that division, we decided to focus entirely on hydraulics. Rather than simply supplying hydraulics components, we wanted to become a partner for our clients, providing complete hydraulics solutions, from design to implementation.

In 2023, Armadillo Group rebranded to Armadillo, with a new logo combining the scales of an armadillo and a precision hex to represent the precision, ruggedness and flexibility at our company’s core.
