From startup to a global network
Within almost 30 years, the HAHN Automation Group was able to develop from a small design and engineering office in the Hunsrück region to a global group of companies. Thomas Hähn founded the company “Hähn Engineering” in his garage in 1992. This later gave rise to HAHN Automation, which opened its first foreign location in the USA, only eight years after incorporation. In 2014, RSBG SE joined HAHN Automation as an investor, which already had 350 employees at seven locations. The HAHN Automation Group was founded in 2017 and serves as a platform for the further development of the group’s companies. They retain their independence and benefit from the exchange and synergies, as well as the skills within the group. Today the HAHN Automation Group employs approximately 1,800 people.
A long-term partnership
RSBG SE has held a majority stake in the HAHN Automation Group since 2014. The holding company acts as a long-term partner for medium-sized companies that are also active in the field of new technologies and help shape global changes. In accordance with current world market trends, RSBG SE and the HAHN Automation Group are jointly focusing on expanding technologies and competencies in the areas of automation, robotics, Industry 4.0 and digitization.
With the establishment of RSBG Automation & Robotics Technologies GmbH in 2021 under the direction of Thomas Hähn as CEO, RSBG SE opens up the possibility for additional technology investments besides the HAHN Automation Group. The HAHN Automation Group is 100 percent owned by the new platform and focuses on automation and robotics in the industrial environment. In addition, further investments in automation and robotics in non-industrial areas are planned via the newly founded United Robotics Group GmbH as a sister company of the HAHN Automation Group.
