Today

As a leading medium-sized supplier of tightening solutions, we are often the first choice for various leading automotive manufacturers, renowned aerospace companies and industrial companies from all over the world when it comes to battery tightening, battery riveting and battery charging technology. Pioneering spirit, inventiveness and innovation have been the driving force behind our company history of over 35 years.

About us - - hs-technik

When developing and manufacturing our high-quality tightening and riveting tools, we therefore rely on no less than:

State-of-the-art technology

Innovation is our passion - this guiding principle has characterized HS-Technik GmbH for over 30 years. As an extremely innovative partner, we have made a name for ourselves in the automotive, aviation and rail vehicle industries in the field of hand-held tightening and riveting technology. We combine know-how and expertise in high-quality products with maximum customer benefit.

Especially in the field of hand-held cordless tools, HS-Technik GmbH is constantly setting new standards through innovative developments. Creativity and constant research result in products that meet even the highest demands of the industry.

Quality

From the product to the service. None of our products leave our premises before they have been checked for functionality and accuracy as part of quality control. We use state-of-the-art testing equipment, which is of course calibrated and maintained in accordance with the applicable regulations. We make the current homologation values of our tightening tools available to our customers to download free of charge.

HS-Technik is ISO 9001:2015 certified. In order to continuously improve and meet the increasing quality demands of our customers, HS-Technik GmbH undergoes internal and external ISO audits every year.

Environmental protection

Environmental considerations play a key role in the development of our products. For example, the MV3 series charging stations charge batteries > 95% full. The special charging process enables us to significantly reduce industrial battery waste. HS-Technik also offers capacity measuring devices for battery testing. With the help of this process, several thousand batteries can be saved from premature and therefore unnecessary scrapping every year. Environmentally friendly and resource-saving at the same time.

At our site in Efringen-Kirchen, we also rely entirely on renewable energies. For example, we can cover our entire electricity requirements with our solar system.
