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.

We as the entire Management Board and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of HAWE Hydraulik hereby make it clear, that our jobs, our incomes, our freedoms and peace in Germany and Europe have three foundations:

• Liberal democracy in Germany since 1949
• The EU domestic market (where we sell over 50% of our products)
• The social & free market economy as an economic system

Each and every one of us should be aware of this and thus bear in mind that endangering or abolishing one of these three foundations endangers the income, freedom and peace of each individual.
