Company History

Over 100 years of company history

Hauhinco Maschinenfabrik looks back on over 100 years of company history. Back then, and also today, the company’s development stood for a remarkable understanding of technology and markets, as well as entrepreneurial vision and braveness.

Thanks to a large picture archive, Hauhinco possesses pictures of nearly all years of its history. On the following sites only a small amount of these pictures are shown. The impressive history of the company will however be illustrated clearly.

1908: Foundation

The Company is founded by Gustav and Rudolf Hausherr on November 1st 1908 as Märkische Bohrmaschinen-Fabrik Gebr. Hausherr. In the beginning only pneumatic tools for mining and stone pit operations were manufactured.

1911

After only three years the company already had 30 employees due to the rising demand of rock drills. The company is changed into a Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (GmbH) ("limited liability company"). Motors for rocking conveyors are added to the product range.

1914

Fabrication of compressed-air rivet- and chipping hammers. The factory building near the railroad station in Sprockhövel is bought. This building is still part of Hauhinco today. The company's name changes to Maschinenfabrik Gebrüder Hausherr GmbH. In the same year the coke oven manufacturer, Gebrüder Hinselmann, from Essen, joins the company.

1920

Ernst Hinselmann and Peter Jochums join the company as partners. The companys trade name is changed once again to Maschinenfabrik G. Hausherr, E. Hinselmann & Co. GmbH, short "Hauhinco".The company's administration moves from Sprockhövel to Essen. Essen is an important center of the coal industry at that time and home of many coal companies. The Hauhinco compressed-air pick axe is introduced in German underground mines.

1925

1926-1935: Weiterentwicklung zum Bergbau-Systemlieferanten

The company moves into the newly built office building at the Zweigertstraße in Essen. Shutes, rubber belt conveyors, and steel-articulated conveyors are added to the product portfolio.

1927

The commonly used name Hauhinco is added in the trade register in January 1927: Hauhinco Maschinenfabrik G. Hausherr, E. Hinselmann & Co. GmbH.

1930

Vertical conveyors, that allow a fluent downward transportation of the coal without friction, are manufactured. In the 1930s shutes, rubber belt conveyors, steel-articulated conveyors, vertical conveyors, conveyor cage feed units for main and blind shafts, complete units of filling stations with chain roads, rotary and lifting tables, as well as automatic loading points, were already part of the Hauhinco product range.

1936
