Zaytran was founded in 1980 to provide the market with large-capacity hydraulic valves. The standardization of castings and CNC cell machining permitted Zaytran to efficiently deliver this class of products to hydraulic integrators. The founding team is best known for having started Manatrol, now a division of Parker Hannifin.
As the large valve business faded, the company shifted focus in the 1980s to pneumatic automation components like grippers and is currently working to evolve to higher force levels in very small packages.
Since its inception, Zaytran has specialized in the development of products that are able to serve extreme environments or requirements but are priced to compete with the generic brands.
Zaytran's customer base is comprised of automation and pneumatic integrators who work in every major industry from hard disk fabrication to aircraft manufacturing. In the Automotive segment, its products have been used by all major integrators for Ford, GM, Tesla, and Stellantis product lines.
