“Thanks to Hydra Global, we were able to save money and accelerate our construction schedule using Hydra’s American-made breaker panels, which were delivered in half the time of our previous supplier, who was located in Germany. Without Hydra, our construction project would have been delayed for months. We continue to stay in constant contact with Hydra Global and look forward to working with them in the future.”
