Haewa success story.
Haewa goes back to the year 1907, when Georg Härdtle founded a mall smithery in Wain. Towards the end of the 40s Haewa started manufacturing. In 1959 followed the production of electrical cabinets.
Right from the beginning the goal was to work closely with the customers and provide custom solutions that provide true value added.
Since then, the generations of company management provided vision, courage, and consistent leadership to successfully grow Haewa to its present-day state.
Today, Haewa has 8 branch offices, more than 380 employers in 3 manufacturing plants, and 38 exclusive agents worldwide.
