The Hamworthy brand is no longer active, but for years it was associated with quality hydraulic gear motors, gear pumps, directional control valves, and related accessories. Aftermarket products bearing the Hamworthy name remain in high demand.

Hamworthy got its start back in 1911 as Hall's Engineering, named after founder Percy Hall. Three years later, the company was renamed Hamworthy Engineering Company Limited, after the village in Poole that served as its headquarters. In these early days, Hamworthy had only a handful of employees and concentrated on the manufacture of oil engines. This phase in the company's history came to an abrupt close in 1936 after a fire broke out at the main shop and caused £20,000 in damage, including the destruction of key engine designs.

However, Hamworthy soon rebuilt with a new emphasis on producing pumps and compressors. The company provided many of these to the War Ministry during WWII.

After the war, in 1953, Hamworthy became a licensee of the Hydreco Division of the U.S.-based New York Air Brake company. This resulted in the formation of Hamworthy Hydraulics Ltd as a subsidiary of Hamworthy Engineering. The new company soon became a big name in the marine industry, outfitting a large number of ships with highly efficient hydraulic products.  They also developed a very close relationship with JCB and a number of other companies in the mobile plant sector.

In 1993, David Brown Group purchased Hamworthy and formed David Brown Hydraulics. This brought the history of the Hamworthy brand to a conclusion. David Brown Hydraulics later became part of the Hydreco hydraulics group.
