HACO

What the partnership
means for our customers

The partnership with Yawei is about adding strength, not replacing what makes HACO unique. Customers in Europe and the USA continue to rely on the European engineering expertise, local service and software know-how they know from HACO.

Made with EU value

HACO production remains firmly anchored in Europe, with Slovakia as a key manufacturing hub. The partnership with Yawei strengthens our European base; production will not move to China.
What does change is the scale behind HACO. The partnership adds manufacturing capacity and technology development through a global industrial platform. This gives HACO greater flexibility and more resources to accelerate innovation.
