How it all began: The history of HEB Hydraulik Elementebau GmbH
It all began in 1980 in a small garage in Freiburg. Three bright minds with a penchant for hydraulics laid the foundations for HEB Hydraulik Elementebau GmbH. Today, HEB is a prime example of how to make it big with passion and innovation. The family holds the reins here, now already in the second generation and the third is in the starting blocks, and ensures that the original values remain alive. Every employee feels like part of the family here, which makes the working atmosphere unique.
The experienced employees are the heart of HEB. Their loyalty and knowledge have allowed the company to grow. HEB has steered its course to success by investing wisely in new technologies and exploring new markets. Sure, there have been obstacles along the way, but these have only made HEB stronger. Today, HEB is an important player in Freiburg's economy and contributes to the region's industrial landscape.
