On June 14 and 15, 2024, HAWE Hydraulik celebrated its 75th anniversary with customers, partners and employees at the Kaufbeuren plant. The very well-attended events were full of highlights and exciting discussions.

75 years ago, on 15^th February 1949, the company "Heilmeier und Weinlein" was entered into the commercial register of the district court in Munich. At that time, it employed nine people, including the two founding fathers, the engineer Karl Heilmeier and the businessman Wilhelm Weinlein. This marked the beginning of what HAWE Hydraulik is today - a globally active company with 2770 employees and a worldwide turnover of over 500 million euros. Even today, after 75 years of company history, it is an independent family business that proudly combines its tradition with a lot of innovative spirit.
