HÜBERS

What HÜBERS does

HÜBERS Verfahrenstechnik Maschinenbau GmbH is a German specialty industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, founded in 1937 by Ernst Hückers and now controlled by the Terhardt family under managing directors Markus Terhardt and Markus Tudyka. The company designs and builds vacuum mixing, dosing, casting, impregnation, and infusion systems used to process liquid materials — primarily casting resins, silicone rubbers, and composite materials — for manufacturers in power engineering, electronics, automotive and e-mobility, wind energy, composites, and medical technology. Its product portfolio spans three mixing and dosing system platforms (epsilon, compact, micro), circulation casting lines, oven systems, automatic pressure gelation systems, silicone vacuum treatment (SVT, UV-SVT) systems, clamping machines, and the proprietary V-DIT (Vacuum Direct Infusion Technology) platform for composite components such as offshore wind turbine rotor blades. HÜBERS also sells a complete range of impregnation systems (TR-I, TR-II, TR-III, MTR5, oil impregnation) covering both electrical coil windings and porous cast metal parts.

The business operates an enterprise field sales model, selling custom-engineered capital equipment directly to industrial manufacturers through wholly-owned subsidiaries in China (Xiamen, 1992), Japan (Tokyo via HÜBERS KK, 2013), and the United States (HUEBERS Technologies Inc., 2021), supported by international trade show participation and an in-house pre-sales process development function. Revenue is generated predominantly from hardware sales of capital equipment, with supplemental service, maintenance, retrofitting, wear-parts, rental, and leasing income. Approximately 100 patents, utility models, and disclosures back the technology stack, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications apply, and more than 3,500 systems have been delivered to 60 countries since founding. Capital structure is private, with an equity partnership with HANNOVER Finanz in place since 2014.

Core offering

HÜBERS develops, manufactures, and globally supplies industrial vacuum mixing, dosing, casting, infusion, and impregnation systems for processing liquid materials such as casting resins, silicone rubbers, and composite materials. The portfolio spans epsilon, compact, and micro mixing and dosing systems, circulation casting lines, oven systems, automatic pressure gelation (APG) systems, silicone vacuum treatment (SVT) systems, clamping machines, and vacuum direct infusion (V-DIT) systems, complemented by a full impregnation systems line (TR-I/TR-II atmospheric, TR-III large-scale and compact, MTR5 metal impregnation, oil impregnation). Offerings are delivered as turnkey production systems including automation, controls, and quality monitoring.

Product overview

HÜBERS is a world leader in development and construction of casting systems, offering a comprehensive portfolio of mixing, dosing, casting, and impregnation equipment. The product range includes three main mixing and dosing system lines (epsilon for all applications, compact for small/medium series, and micro for high-precision smallest quantities), supplemented by circulation casting lines for large-scale production, oven systems, automatic pressure gelation systems, silicone vacuum treatment (SVT) systems, clamping machines, and vacuum direct infusion technology (V-DIT) systems for composite components. Additionally, HÜBERS offers a complete line of impregnation systems including atmospheric flooding systems (TR-I/TR-II), large-scale electrical impregnation systems (TR-III), compact coil winding impregnation systems, metal impregnation systems (MTR5), and oil impregnation systems. The portfolio covers the entire value chain from material preparation and formulation through dosing, mixing, casting/infusion, and impregnation for applications in power engineering, electronics, automotive/e-mobility, wind power, and medical technology.
