häwa – the common goal always in mind

The häwa story begins in 1907, when Georg Härdtle opened a small metalworking shop in Wain.
The company began manufacturing woodworking machinery in the late 1940s and entered the control cabinet manufacturing business in 1959.

From the very beginning, häwa has followed a clear vision: to fully satisfy our customers' requirements and develop solutions that offer real added value in a competitive market. With courage, consistency and foresight, häwa has remained true to this approach, enabling the company to grow to its current size. With eight subsidiaries, 450 employees at two locations and over 30 customer service representatives worldwide, we are well prepared for further healthy growth in the future.
