About HARTING


HQT Building, Espelkamp

On September 1, 1945, Wilhelm and Marie Harting founded a company named "Wilhelm Harting Mechanical Workshops". In a small hall of about 100 m2 in a Minden repair shop, they began producing devices for everyday needs. The company's first products were useful everyday items. They produced energy-saving bulbs, sought-after hotplates, electric fencing equipment, waffle irons, electric lighters and irons. The size and scope of their orders increased and the company grew steadily.

A success story


Old company building

Founder Wilhelm Harting recognised early that the emerging German industry needed technical products. Their committed employees and innovative ideas helped them work towards the goal of developing a connector that would be robust, easy to handle, and applicable for a variety of purposes. Wilhelm Harting had long recognised the need for such a product.

And soon the Han® connector celebrated its convincing premiere and set a globally recognised standard. He has remained the backbone of the Technology Group during all its changes. 

The HARTING Technology Group is now one of the world's leading suppliers of industrial connection technology. HARTING connectivity solutions are used for the transmission of "data and power" in numerous industrial sectors. These include the areas of transport, electromobility, renewable energy generation, automation and mechanical engineering.

"Quality is when the customer comes back, not the product."

These words from Wilhelm Harting illustrate how much value was placed on high quality back then - and still is today.

Three generations of entrepreneurship


»

Our primary family member is the company itself – for it is our diva. It is represented by those who are at the top. Everyone has their rights and their duties. Our entrepreneurial spirit is focused on the long term. We think in terms of generations.

Margrit Harting

Margrit Harting

Member of the Board and Partner

The Harting family has been leading the company, with great passion for detail, since its foundation. After the death of Wilhelm Harting in 1962, Marie Harting continued to lead the company successfully and purposefully. In 1967 and 1969, the two sons Dietmar and Jürgen Harting (deceased in 1973) assumed corporate responsibility alongside their mother. Margrit Harting joined her husband Dietmar Harting's family business in 1987 and is now a Member of the Board and Partner. Philip F. W. Harting and Maresa W. M. Harting-Hertz now represent the third generation in leading positions. Since October 2015, Philip Harting has been the CEO of the HARTING Technology Group. To date, these four make the decisions for the company together.

From the garage to a global company


The genesis was a desire to make people's everyday lives easier. Innovative strength, commitment and entrepreneurial vision then paved the way for the evolution to a globally successful company. Every day, our employees around the world help to ensure that we do not rest on our laurels, but rather concentrate on further innovations and growth targets. In doing so, we are guided by our vision: 

We want to ...

  • shape the future with technologies for people.

  • become a global company.

  • create values ​​for people.

Our corporate vision, created in 1996
