Mission

To provide the best possible equipment and solutions to our customers by providing the right product at the right time at the right price with the right attitude.

Vision

To have a reputation as the knight in shining armor for our customers when they need new or repaired parts so they can, in turn, fulfill their own mission and vision.

Values

• Integrity - Saying what we do and doing what we say
• Respect - Treating our co-workers, customers, and suppliers as intrinsically valuable people
• Ownership - Taking responsibility for our actions and impact as a company and individuals
• Honor - Making the ethically, morally, and legally just decisions even when they come at a price
• Optimism - Having hope for the future and choosing to find fun and joy in the everyday
• Balance - Finding the "both/and" in life, not the "either/or" - professional AND fun, employees AND customers, quantity AND quality, work AND life, autonomy AND accountability, rules AND creativity, etc.

Focus

NEW Hydraulics is all about the Art of Uptime™ in everything we do, but we have two main specialties. The first specialty is hose and tube assemblies, which can be separated into one-time custom reproduction, repeatable aftermarket replication, and low- to mid-volume production. Our second specialty is snowplows and spreaders. We are a dealer and repair shop for WESTERN®, FISHER®, and SnowEx® snowplows and salt spreaders, and we provide local installs, local repair, and nationwide shipping for all our brands.

Our team has high standards and hopes you do too! Every member has been hand-picked based primarily on attitude and values. While some have brought expertise from past experiences, all have received continuous on-the-job training. Every individual desires constant growth, whether it is learning new areas of the business or becoming an expert in one area.

Our employees are fun, hard-working people. They love seeing their co-workers succeed and love working together, but are also able to tackle solo projects with enthusiasm. They take pride in their work, knowing the value of what they put out has an impact on coworkers and customers alike.

Impact

We know that each person does make an impact - whether positive or negative - on their surroundings. We value input from every person no matter their position in the company because every person has value. Without any single employee, we wouldn't be able to do all that we do. We also take pride in the impact we make on our customers. Some of the most common customer feedback we receive is about how thankful they are that we do what we do, and that we do it so quickly and so well. Knowing that, it's hard not to recognize just how much the service we provide matters.

Growth

We're a small company with a track record of aggressive growth, with no plans of slowing down. We share our successes with our employees, since without them it wouldn't be possible to do all that we do. To show our appreciation, we offer programs like profit sharing, generous pay raises, and ever-expanding benefits (currently including health insurance, PTO, and retirement contributions). We also encourage our employees to shift and grow in their roles as the company grows.

Stability

The pandemic hurt many businesses, some beyond repair. The good news here is that our customer base is constant, so our work is constant. Farms will always need to produce food, new construction and maintenance will always be in demand, and snow will always need to be plowed in the Midwest. Because these recession-resistant industries are our backbone, we can confidently claim to be recession-resistant as well. We always have internal projects going on, so even during periods of lower customer demand, we have work that needs to be done. We have never had to lay off or let go of any of our employees due to lack of work, and we can't imagine that ever being the case in the future.

Flexibility

Whether you're looking for part- or full-time work, early or late shifts, three day weekends, or an entirely customized schedule, we'll do our best to accommodate your needs. We also do our best to maximize each employee's interests and skills, regardless of traditional titles or job descriptions.

Education

There's no substitute for having a good head on your shoulders, but hard skills aren't innate and everyone is a beginner at some point. We provide as much on-the-job training as is necessary for you to feel comfortable and confident in your responsibilities. We also know the importance of higher education and external certification programs, and are understanding of students' needs for flexibility.

Comfort

Look, working in a shop is not a cushy job. But we prioritize your comfort with a temperature controlled environment. We have air conditioning in the summer, and both forced air and in-floor heating in the winter. We also have a fantastic employee break room complete with a fridge and freezer, microwave, toaster oven, griddle, skillet, hot plates, full dishware, and a dishwasher. Seriously, it's an entire freaking kitchen.

Connection

We actually kind of like each other. Most of our employees consider themselves friends outside of work, and we celebrate and struggle together through life's ups and downs. We regularly have company-sponsored get-togethers outside of work hours, as well as unofficial hangouts in small groups. Every summer, everyone is invited to Paul's lake house for a weekend of fun and relaxation.
