HAHN GroupFrom startup to a global network
Within almost 30 years, the HAHN 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 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 Group employs approximately 1,600 people in 14 countries within its subsidiaries.
