Harting celebrates 75 years of driving technologies

01 September 2020

For 75 years now, the Harting Technology Group has been driving technological change and providing decisive impetus for the future. The vision formulated in 1996 by the owner family — "We want to shape the future with technologies for people" — remains the guiding star of entrepreneurial activities. September 1 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding day of the family company.

The manufacturer of everyday products such as waffle irons and irons has evolved into a worldwide leading supplier of industrial connection technology for the three lifelines of data, signal and power, a global player fielding innovative products and solutions focusing on Industry 4.0 and digitization.

The Harting Automotive subsidiary develops and produces charging equipment for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The company is also making key contributions to sustainability in the generation of regenerative energy, and has long featured as an experienced and reliable partner to the wind turbine industry. The company manufactures connectors and applications that are predestined for the extraordinary stresses of offshore and onshore plants due to location, environment, climate, corrosion and other environmental influences.

In recent years, Harting has been increasingly relying on cooperation activities, networks and partnerships such as the MICAnetwork and the Future Alliance for Mechanical Engineering, with which Industry 4.0 and digitization are being driven forward, while shaping and co-determining the networking of processes and objects. The Technology Group regards partner networks as an ideal platform for the further development of integrated industry. In this way, the future can be shaped and designed with technologies for people and values created.
