Roth Hydraulics has announced the acquisition of SFP Hydraulics, Inc, a Houston-based supplier of hydraulic accumulator systems, as part of its strategy to expand international operations and strengthen its presence in key global markets. The transaction brings together two specialised companies with complementary product portfolios and a shared focus on hydraulic technology.

SFP Hydraulics, founded in 2014, manufactures bladder, piston and diaphragm accumulators and has built a strong customer base across North America. The company’s leadership initiated a change in ownership to support future growth and strengthen its financial foundation. Roth Hydraulics, part of the Roth Industries Group, was selected as a strategic partner due to its industry experience, technological capabilities and longstanding market presence.

Christin Roth-Jäger, Chief Executive Officer of Roth Industries Group, said the acquisition reflects the company’s commitment to expanding globally while investing in high-potential markets. She noted that SFP’s experienced workforce and strong position in North America offer promising opportunities for continued growth.

Frank Fuchs, Managing Director of Roth Hydraulics, said the two companies have maintained close industry ties and share similar business values. He added that combining their expertise will broaden the product range and enable both companies to serve customers more effectively across multiple regions. With production and sales operations in Germany, the United States and China, Roth Hydraulics aims to strengthen its competitiveness and provide integrated solutions to international clients.

SFP Hydraulics will continue to operate under its existing name and brand, with its current management team remaining in place. Both companies said the goal is to maintain continuity for customers and employees while benefiting from shared technology development, expanded distribution networks and operational collaboration.

Roth Industries GmbH & Co KG, headquartered in Dautphetal, Germany, operates across building and industrial solutions, including energy systems, environmental systems, composite technology, plastic technology and hydraulic systems. The family-owned group employs around 1,400 people worldwide and manages 28 production and sales companies.

The acquisition of SFP Hydraulics is expected to strengthen Roth Hydraulics’ position as a global supplier of accumulator systems while enhancing support for customers in North America and other key markets. The company said it will continue to pursue international growth opportunities that align with its focus on innovation, quality and long-term partnerships.
