AXXERON Technologies

What AXXERON Technologies does

AXXERON Technologies GmbH is a privately held German management holding company founded in 2018/2019 and headquartered in Münster, Germany. It acquires and operationally develops medium-sized companies in industrial automation, motion control, and hydraulic systems, organized into four business divisions: Automation (electronics, sensors, control cabinet manufacturing), Motion (servo hydraulics, fluid technology, cylinders, mobile hydraulics), Technology Center (test rig development, drive and control technology, EtherLab open-source software), and Industrial Partners. The group operates through 10+ wholly-owned subsidiaries across Germany and Luxembourg, including HESCH (electronics, since 1976), Schneider Servohydraulics, HTG Fluidtechnik, KWR Elektronik, Werthenbach Hydraulikaggregate, IgH, and the recently acquired AXXERON Hydrolux (formerly MOOG Luxembourg), plus a 2024 joint venture in China.

The company's core products include custom hydraulic power units and systems, servo cartridge valves and manifolds (0.4-700 l/min flow range), modular die cushion systems, control cabinets, intelligent process I/O systems (HIMOD), and the EtherLab open-source EtherCAT automation suite. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based hardware sales to internationally active OEM customers across 10 verticals: machine and plant engineering, shipbuilding, recycling, agricultural technology, construction and building materials, petrochemistry and energy, pharmaceutical/bio/medical technology, automation and testing technology, road vehicle and municipal technology, and traffic engineering.

AXXERON pursues a buy-and-build strategy funded without disclosed external venture capital, completing six acquisitions and one joint venture between 2020 and 2024. The One-Stop-Shop value proposition offers integrated supply chains from engineering through procurement, production, and commissioning. GTM is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by trade show participation (e.g., PTC Asia 2025) and internal Hausmesse exhibitions. Pricing is quote-based B2B custom solutions. Certifications include ISO 9001, ATEX compliance, and DGUV Test certification for safety-critical products.
