Hauber Elektronik

What Hauber Elektronik does

HAUBER-Elektronik GmbH is a German manufacturer of industrial vibration measurement technology, founded in 1966 and headquartered in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg. The company designs and produces vibration sensors (HE05x, HE10x, HE20x, HE25x series) that monitor vibration velocity (mm/s) and acceleration (g) on rotating machinery such as turbines, pumps, fans, mills, and cooling towers, alongside evaluation electronics (Series 650/652/656), shielded sensor cables, mounting adapters, and a portable handheld instrument (HE400). Its product portfolio spans 3,576 variants and is differentiated by an in-house calibration laboratory with high-precision laser systems, on-board bearing-condition calculation (HE250/255), and certifications including ISO 9001, TÜV-Süd SIL 2, ATEX Ex ib, PL-d, GOST/EAC, and cULus, which together qualify the sensors for safety-critical and explosive-atmosphere deployments. The company also offers calibration services and a cloud-based machine monitoring / remote diagnostics offering introduced in 2016.

The business is a family-owned private GmbH (HRB 221052, Amtsgericht Nürtingen), led since 2005 by Managing Director and partner Tobias Bronkal. Revenue is generated primarily through B2B hardware sales on a quote-based model, with a sample list price of 239 EUR for an HE050 sensor and 38–49 EUR for Type F cables; pricing is not publicly disclosed beyond the online shop. Go-to-market combines direct field sales in Germany, a Shopify-based e-commerce store for mid-market and smaller buyers, and a global distribution network of more than 20 channel partners covering Europe, the Middle East, South and East Asia, Oceania, Africa, and the Americas. Named customers include Siemens, Mercedes-Benz, thyssenkrupp, Bayer, Deutsche Bahn, ABB, Voith, Sandoz, Howden, Niehoff, Piller, Witt & Sohn, FIMA, and MIAG Milling, spanning industrial OEM, automotive, railway, power generation, and pharmaceutical verticals. The company does not disclose revenue, has no external institutional investors or parent company, and is reported to operate with 11–50 employees.
