HAIMER responds to the challenges faced by many manufacturing companies, which are increasingly under cost pressure while suffering from a shortage of skilled workers and the need for digitization and automation. HAIMER enables its customers worldwide to machine more precisely, reliably and productively. With HAIMER, the shop floor can be digitized and the tool assembly automated.
With the "Tool Room of the Future," HAIMER provides its customers worldwide with a holistic tool room concept for greater efficiency, digitization, and automation.
With the HAIMER Tool Room solutions, a previously unorganized tool assembly as a black box can be turned into a transparent, data-driven tool set-up and presetting process, enabling production to run 24/7 at high levels of automation.
The HAIMER Group has completed the generational change in its ownership structure. The company shares have been transferred to the second generation so that siblings Andreas and Kathrin Haimer now assume responsibility as Managing Directors and Shareholders.
The HAIMER Group manufactures shrink fit and balancing technology, toolholders, and presetting machines, as well as complete systems for tool management solutions.
Claudia and Franz Haimer, who founded the company in 1977, will remain operationally active in the management team until December 31, 2027, and will continue to support the company in the long term with their experience and network as members of a newly established Advisory Board.
"This handover is an important milestone in the development of our family business" said Claudia Haimer. "Andreas and Kathrin are closely connected to HAIMER for many years and have already successfully assumed responsibility in the management team. This ensures the continuity of our values, our technological expertise, and our long-term strategy."
By transferring the shares to Andreas and Kathrin Haimer, HAIMER strengthens its position as an independent, owner-managed family business that offers its customers the "Tool Room of the Future" as a holistic tool room concept providing greater efficiency, digitization and automation.
With this approach, HAIMER addresses the challenges faced by manufacturing companies that are increasingly under cost pressure while confronted with a shortage of skilled workers as well as the need to digitize and automate. With HAIMER solutions, the shop floor can be digitized, and the tool assembly area can be automated.
Andreas and Kathrin Haimer will continue the established growth course while setting new innovations in the areas of digitization, automation and sustainability — for example, through the further expansion of digital products, networked tool room solutions, and automated cells for shrinking, presetting and balancing.
In view of the many challenges in global markets, Kathrin Haimer particularly emphasized the company's responsibility towards people and employees: "As a family-owned company, we bear responsibility for the future of our business, for our employees, for the education of young people as apprentices, and for our local communities. Our task is to combine the values that HAIMER has stood for over decades with innovative strength and cutting-edge technology. In this way, we aim to actively shape the future of our company as a reliable partner for our customers and an attractive employer."
Andreas Haimer added that from a technological and strategic perspective: "We are a manufacturing company ourselves, with more than 200 machine tools and an annual metalcutting volume of around 5,000 tons, so we know from our own experience just how crucial stable, productive processes and well-thought-out tool management are. That is precisely why we are consistently investing in digitization and automation: from AI-capable shrink fit, balancing, and presetting machines through our Tool Room of the Future' concept to global cooperation with machine tool builders where our networked solutions are deployed in their plants worldwide. The generational change gives us the entrepreneurial freedom to further expand this long-term strategy and to strengthen our role as a technology leader in the periphery around the machine tool and in the networking of the shop floor."
