Our Legacy

Founded in 1986 by four engineers, American Hydro filled a critical gap in the hydropower industry by specializing in turbine upgrades and rehabilitation. Introducing “The Service Company” concept and pioneering computer-based turbine design, we quickly earned a reputation for solving complex challenges and improving efficiency and durability.

Today, that same spirit of innovation drives us forward. For four decades, American Hydro has led in hydro-turbine design, manufacturing, and modernization—advancing technology, enhancing performance, and strengthening the reliability of power producers worldwide.
