Hydro Group has always attributed key strategic importance to research and development in the management and development of its business.

The Group maintains association with several Scottish Universities and research centres around the UK.

Our business partners have close links with NURC in Italy, SINTEF in Norway, NAVSEA in the United States, and the Natural Environment Research Council here in the UK.

Hydro Groups unique competitive strength is the focus on R & D, the ability to innovate in terms of both products, processes and the use of advanced proprietary materials.

We have ten dedicated professional staff members involved with research & development and increase our budget for R & D by 30% annually.
