Innovative sealing solutions protecting infrastructure

Hauff-Technik is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of sealing solutions for cables, pipes and building entries. Founded in 1955, the company has evolved from a small manufacturer into an SME champion with an international focus. Today, its product range comprises around 3,000 items. Hauff-Technik operates in over 40 countries, serving a wide range of customers from energy suppliers, municipal utilities and construction companies to installation companies, industrial customers and private builders. Its products are also widely available via specialist distributors serving the construction and civil engineering sectors.
In 2020, the company invested heavily in its headquarters and built a fully automated, expandable logistics center with a 25-meter-high intelligent high-bay warehouse. This modern system allows for significantly more efficient warehousing and optimized logistics processes.
With the acquisition of Hauff-Technik GRIDCOM, Electro Trading and Kettler, Hauff-Technik is consistently expanding its product portfolio while maintaining a strong growth trajectory. These acquisitions strengthen the company’s market position and open up new fields of application and target groups.
