A-Tech Hydraulics was formed in 2001. Ron Forster, the owner and founder is a 22 year veteran in the Hydraulics business. While working in the industry, he realized the need for professional on-site hydraulic service. He started the business by purchasing a service truck and worked out of his home garage. A-Tech specialized in industrial and marine hydraulic repairs. After receiving a large contract from the Navy for repairing 900 cylinders, he realized that the small garage would not handle the volume. A-Tech was moved to Sparrows Point Maryland in a large facility. This location is close to the steel mills, ports and industrial areas of Baltimore.
