How Hiflex Delivers 70 Years of Global Manufacturing Expertise to On-Site Australian Service
Hiflex is bringing world-class hydraulic solutions directly to Australian worksites with a competitive advantage no independent operator can match. Backed by Alfagomma, the world's largest privately owned hose and fittings manufacturer, Hiflex combines 70 years of global manufacturing expertise with fast, on-site Australian service. Franchisees buy directly from the manufacturer, which means better margins than competitors buying through distributors.
Now, Hiflex is expanding its franchise network across Australia, with a particular focus on Brisbane and Melbourne in 2026, to bring 24-hour mobile hydraulic service to mining, construction, transport, agriculture and manufacturing sectors nationwide.
The Alfagomma Advantage
Behind every Hiflex van is Alfagomma, which proudly celebrates 70 years of manufacturing excellence, engineering innovation and global industry leadership. Established in 1956, Alfagomma now operates 28 manufacturing plants across 12 countries, with 90 subsidiaries spanning five continents. The company employs 4,800 people worldwide, holds ISO 9001 certification since 1993, and supplies OEM-approved (Original Equipment Manufacturer) products trusted by leading equipment manufacturers across every major industrial sector.
For over 70 years, Alfagomma has operated as a global manufacturer, providing customers with direct access to proven engineering expertise, established systems and long-term stability. For Hiflex franchisees, that translates to premium components at manufacturer pricing, guaranteed supply chain reliability, and products built to the exact specifications required by Australian industry.
Most competitors are independent workshops buying through distributors and working with longer lead times and tighter margins. Hiflex franchisees get their stock directly from the manufacturer. That means no distributor markup, faster turnaround, and better profit margins on every job.
“Being backed by Alfagomma means franchisees operate with the direct support of a global manufacturer, benefiting from in-house engineering expertise, proven product quality and established systems, rather than operating independently. For franchise partners, that’s a genuine competitive advantage in a market built on reliability and speed.”
Built for Australian Industry
Hiflex was launched in 2010 to solve a specific problem: Australian businesses needed fast access to world-class hydraulic products without the delays and markups of traditional distribution chains. Rather than forcing customers to wait or source through intermediaries, Hiflex brought Alfagomma's manufacturing capability directly to worksites through fully equipped mobile workshops.
Over the past 16 years, the model has proven itself across mining, construction, transport, agriculture and manufacturing. Hiflex now operates in most capital cities and major regional centres including Mackay, Hobart, Ballarat, Toowoomba, Newcastle, Wollongong, Central Coast, Sunshine Coast, Moranbah and Blackwater. In 2017, the business was recognised as Best Hydraulic Hose & Fittings Services Provider across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
The service is straightforward: expert technicians with nationally recognised qualifications deliver on-site repairs, custom assemblies, preventive maintenance and safety certification wherever equipment is operating.
Australia's infrastructure pipeline, mining activity, construction growth and agricultural expansion continue to drive demand. Hiflex franchisees operate in exclusive territories with manufacturer-direct pricing, with franchises starting from $50K.
Each franchise comes with exclusive territories, comprehensive training, national marketing support and a centralised call centre delivering qualified leads. Franchisees receive online induction, system training, technical qualification pathways, field training and sales skills development.
Looking Ahead
At DC Strategy, we're proud to support Hiflex because it represents what we believe every sustainable franchise should offer: a reliable brand with genuine staying power, a business model that's been proven across Australia for over a decade, and backing from a global manufacturer that gives franchisees better margins than independent operators.
