Bob Chew founded Excel Hydraulics LLC, located in Clarksboro, NJ, in September, 2001. With more than 26 years of experience in the industry, Bob Chew began his career as a machinist and mechanic with Mecha-Draulics, a hydraulic and general mechanical repair company. With a passion for service and repair, he quickly expanded his knowledge, skills and experience. Eventually, Bob moved into sales and management roles, including advancing to serve as Mecha-Draulics’ general manager and project manager. In this position, Bob envisioned building a hydraulic repair company focused on quality service and repair that employed his complicated mechanical design and parts machining kno wledge to solve customers’ problems. In September, 2001, Bob left his position with Mecha-Draulics and started Excel Hydraulics LLC out of his garage. At its inception, his new company primarily focused on in-shop and on the road hydraulic equipment service and repair of machinery, including Fassi and other wallboard truck service. With a burgeoning customer repair and service load, Bob quickly outgrew his garage and moved Excel to its first location, next to Riehl’s towing in Clarksboro NJ.
