History of Sorensen Systems

Sorensen Systems was established in 1985 by The Hope Group, following the strategic acquisition of the Sorensen Governor brand. At the time, the Sorensen Governor line had built a strong reputation for serving the operational and control needs of municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities. This acquisition laid the foundation for what would become one of the region’s leading custom hydraulic systems integrators.

Over the past four decades, Sorensen Systems has evolved from its roots in governor technology into a full-scale engineering and fabrication house, specializing in motion control systems for hydropower generation, municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, and industrial automation applications. Our team of in-house engineers and technicians designs and manufactures custom high-pressure and low-pressure hydraulic oil power units, lube oil systems, and electrical control panels, all tailored to meet the performance, safety, and reliability standards demanded by today’s mission-critical operations.

Sorensen Systems is built on a legacy of precision, innovation, and customer-driven solutions. We take pride in delivering turnkey systems that are factory-tested, field-ready, and built for longevity in even the most rugged operating environments. From supporting dam and gate control systems in hydropower plants to powering actuators in advanced wastewater treatment facilities, our products are trusted by engineers, contractors, and facility operators across the country.

Additionally, Sorensen Systems benefits from its affiliation with Parker Hannifin, a global leader in motion and control technologies. Through our parent company, The Hope Group, an authorized Parker distributor, we have access to a vast portfolio of Parker fluid power and motion control components. This close relationship ensures that every Sorensen-built system is supported by industry-best components and technical resources, enhancing overall quality, reliability, and maintainability.

Today, Sorensen Systems continues to expand its capabilities and product offerings to meet the evolving demands of the industries we serve. Our commitment to engineering excellence, paired with responsive customer support and strong vendor partnerships, makes us a trusted partner for customized fluid power and control solutions in New York and beyond.

FAQ: Sorensen Systems

Can Sorensen Systems be customized for my existing facility?

  • Yes. Every Sorensen HPU is built to order based on your space, performance specs, and integration needs.

What are the benefits of epoxy-coated steel vs. stainless steel tanks?

  • Stainless offers superior corrosion resistance, but epoxy-coated carbon steel is often more economical and still highly durable for indoor applications.

Can I integrate the HPU with my SCADA or control system?

  • Absolutely. Sorensen control panels can be customized for remote monitoring and control, including SCADA, Modbus, or Ethernet/IP.

Do you offer on-site startup and commissioning?

  • Yes, Siewert Equipment provides full on-site startup, testing, and troubleshooting.

How fast can I get a quote and lead time?

  • We typically provide quotes within 24–48 hours. Lead times depend on system complexity but are often shorter than other custom fabricators.
