About HST Press, Inc.
Over 19 years ago, Hydraulic Systems Technology, Inc., was formed to service the manufacturing industry with special engineering services. The company is focused on the control of real world press applications to achieve the most efficient production possible. This is accomplished by the extensive use of instrumentation and engineering tools to 'benchmark' a process, predict what is possible, and then modify the hydraulic, mechanical and electrical systems to meet those expectations.
Owner/President - Perry DeCuir Jr. C.F.P.E.
Perry J. DeCuir Jr. C.F.P.E.For over 38 years Perry has worked in the press industry. In the early 70's, as President of Hydro Kinetics, Inc., retrofitting and upgrading of high speed forging presses was the order of the day. Open Die Forging was the area of interest and with it a need to develop instrumentation to monitor and optimize the process. These skills proved to be useful when Perry joined the Rexroth Corp. as a member of the Press Group. As a 'turnkey' systems group, process efficiency was critical in the design,fabrication and installation of press systems power units and electronic control packages. In 1986 Perry joined Vickers to head up a global 'Press Systems' group. In later years the role was expanded to 'Director of Applied Technology', which included responsibility for the Press, Plastics, Machine Tool, Off Highway and Electronics groups.
In 1991 Perry formed HST, Inc. to focus specifically on optimizing production lines that use presses. For the past ten years the company has fine-tuned its capabilities by designing and building custom instrumentation to better optimize production lines. As a direct supplier to Ford Motor Co. / Visteon, HST, Inc. has worked extensively in the stamping / sub-assembly side (Ford Chicago Stamping, Woodhaven Stamping, Buffalo Stamping) and on the plastics side with Visteon Utica Trim.
