About Hytek
A friendly personal service and a wide range of products have helped Hytek become the successful operation it is today.

We offer a huge range of products for handling fuel and lubricants.

Founded in 1985 by Kevin Arnold and Ian Taylor, Hytek started off as a two man operation but quickly grew. The company’s first two full time employees Andy Seal and Clive Wellings remain with the company today and Kevin is still at the helm as managing director. Andy is now a director and Clive is technical manager. Hytek now has more than 30 employees and a fantastic reputation in the fuelling industry.

From its humble beginnings in 1985, Hytek expanded rapidly and soon outgrew its original Elsenham base. The company swelled to take up six separate units on an industrial estate. This became impractical, so in 2002, Hytek found a new home just down the road – near to Stansted Airport and the M11. The new custom built 20,000sq ft facility allows all staff and operations to be housed under one roof.
About Hytek 1
We have seen many changes in the industry over the years, the biggest being the impact of environmental pollution and the increasing measures and legislation in place to prevent it. Staff remain up to speed with all changes in these areas and continually offer products that comply with the appropriate requirements, offering customers complete peace of mind.

Hytek supplies a wide range of products for handling fuels and lubricants to the service and installation industry. With Hytek, transferring or dispensing fuels and lubricants is quick and efficient. Extensive product knowledge helps customers find the perfect solution to their fuelling needs every time.

During the late 1990s, Hytek made their mark on the fuelling industry with the Model 109 commercial fuel pump. This was the original product Hytek launched with, for the haulage industry. Nowadays, Hytek offers a range of fuelling solutions to the oil heating and fuel industries.

The company's supply of UPP flexible plastic pipework is also a hit with customers new and old. Hytek is the only distributor of UPP in the UK.
About Hytek 2
Although it has big ideas, the fact Hytek remains a small company means that personal, friendly service is a priority. When the company was founded, there were a series of key principles which are still in place today.

Director Kevin Arnold explains: "We pride ourselves on offering products from stock - we don't build or buy to order. This philosophy enables us to deliver quickly and reliably to our customers. We have specialist knowledge in all the products we sell and how they are used. We listen to our customers and deliver the service or product that they want, when they want. Being friendly and polite to our customers may be an old fashioned value, but it is still vitally important in today's busy marketplace. We like to treat our customers well and offer them the very best advice and a first class service. It is also important that all of the Hytek team have fun, as when they are happy our customers are happy too!"
