Edbro Information

Edbro | World Leader in Hydraulic Tipping Systems & HDV Components Edbro is a pioneer and global leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of hydraulic tipping systems, modules, and components for commercial vehicles. Operating from its primary facility in Bolton, UK, Edbro delivers high-performance solutions for both on-road and off-road applications worldwide. Our Legacy of Innovation 1909–1919: The Foundation Founded in Bolton, UK, as Edward Brothers, the company initially focused on general engineering. As the transport industry evolved, it emerged as a pioneer in hydraulic lifting, developing early front-end tipping gear for commercial vehicles. 1919–1969: Becoming Edbro Following a merger with the Bromilow family, the business became Bromilow & Edwards. Combining engineering expertise with transport innovation, it built an international reputation for durability. During this era, the brand name Edbro (a blend of EDward BROthers) was formally adopted as global demand grew. 1969–2025: Global Scale & Custom Engineering Edbro established itself as a global benchmark for front-end, underbody, and custom hydraulic tipping solutions. Serving rigid trucks and trailers across construction, waste, and bulk transport, Edbro cylinders became synonymous with reliability in severe working conditions. 2025–Present: Strategic Growth with Orsan On March 24, 2025, Edbro Hydraulics Limited was acquired by Orsan Industries Incorporated, a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty vehicle components—including pneumatic braking and suspension systems—since 1972. Synergy & Global Reach With combined manufacturing capabilities across the UK, Turkey, and Mexico, the integration of Edbro’s telescopic tipping cylinders into Orsan’s extensive product portfolio provides commercial vehicle fleets and OEMs with increased synergy, expanded choice, and streamlined supplier integration.
