Hatz

What Hatz does

Hatz (Motorenfabrik Hatz GmbH & Co. KG) is a privately held German manufacturer of industrial diesel engines and power systems, headquartered in Ruhstorf an der Rott, Germany, and structured as a GmbH & Co. KG with apparent family/foundation ownership (the Matthias Hatz Foundation is referenced). The company produces a broad portfolio of compact industrial diesel engines organized into six series — B, D, G, H, L, and M — spanning roughly 13 kW to 64 kW, with the M-Series serving as a 30-year mainstay and the H-Series representing its latest common-rail turbocharged platform launched in 2020.

The product architecture extends beyond bare engines into integrated systems: fiPMG permanent magnet generators, hydraulic pumps, power systems, pumping systems, maritime applications, and a proprietary emissions platform branded E1-Technology. Supporting accessories include display solutions, diagnostic systems, and telematic hardware, and the firm has layered an IoT/digital ecosystem on top of its installed base via Hatz Digital Solutions, the Digital Service Portal (DSP), and remote diagnostics services.

Commercially, Hatz sells to industrial OEM equipment manufacturers (construction, agricultural, wood-shredding, pumping, power-generation) through direct sales and a global network of 13 international branches and 500+ service centers across Europe, North America, Latin America, and Oceania. Revenue is generated through engine/system sales, genuine parts, service contracts, warranty extensions, training (Hatz Academy), and an emerging digital/IoT service layer. No public revenue, funding, or headcount figures are disclosed.
