Capabilities and Equipment

American Hydro’s headquarters is located in York, Pennsylvania, USA. The facility is dedicated to hydro turbine manufacture and rehabilitation with over 123,000 square feet set on 38 acres and a 200-ton crane capacity and access by rail and road.

Our facility is designed from the ground up to provide a manufacturing environment that produces high-quality hydro-mechanical components cost-effectively and in less time than by conventional means. Making all this possible is American Hydro’s expertise in computer and manufacturing integration. Engineered designs created with specialized software are input directly into work centers equipped with CNC milling or plasma cutting machines for complete accuracy. This “paperless” production approach eliminates errors and improves quality.
