Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and strategic.

• Siemens Mobility Austria GmbHcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 September 2020Strategic partnership for the development and supply of high-performance friction stir welding systems. HAGE developed a 130 kN FSW system for Siemens metro train production, including joint development of clamping devices, process development, and FSW tool development. The partnership includes an identical system at HAGE's competence centre for testing and training.
• Medical University of GrazstrategicStrategic or Co-development PartnerCollaboration during COVID-19 pandemic to develop pressure-controlled ventilators for crisis and emergency situations. HAGE and HAGE3D developed prototypes with clinical guidance from Prof. Dr. Horst Olschewski from the pulmonology department. HAGE appointed as leader for emergency ventilator development within COVID19 Crisis Task Force of Prof. Ramsauer (TU Graz).
• JoskocoreTechnology or IntegrationDevelopment of a fully automatic machining centre for window profiles capable of processing up to 500 different profile geometries. Customer created machining programs while HAGE handled control system integration and developed profile detection and tool management systems.
• HAGE3DcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSister company owned by the Hampel family, specializing in 3D printing technology. Collaboration on medical device development including ventilator prototypes. HAGE3D contributed 3D printing expertise for medical components including implant printer development.
• COVID19 Crisis Task Force (TU Graz)strategicStrategic or Co-development PartnerHAGE appointed as leader for emergency ventilator development within the task force led by Prof. Ramsauer at TU Graz. Task force maintained close discussion with Minister Schramböck regarding pandemic response.

Direct peers

• Haas Automation: US-based CNC machine tool manufacturer producing vertical machining centers and large-format CNC machines. Comparable technology category to HAGE Matic, although Haas focuses on standardized serial production versus HAGE's bespoke platforms.
• Mazak: Japanese manufacturer of CNC machining centers including 5-axis and large-format machines serving automotive, aerospace, and industrial customers. Comparable product category to HAGE Matic and overlapping end markets.
• DMG MORI: Global manufacturer of CNC machine tools including 5-axis machining centers and portal/gantry designs, directly comparable to HAGE Matic. Both serve automotive, aerospace, and general industrial customers with high-precision CNC platforms.
• Ficep: Italian specialist in CNC machines for structural steel processing (drilling, sawing, marking, cutting), closely comparable to HAGE Cut and HAGE Matic in serving steel profile manufacturers like Josko with automated production cells.
• Peddinghaus: German specialist in steel processing machinery for structural steel fabrication (drilling, sawing, cutting, marking). Closely comparable to HAGE Cut and HAGE Special in serving construction and structural steel customers with purpose-built automated systems.

Broad incumbents

• Trumpf: German family-owned industrial machinery leader in laser cutting, machine tools, and custom automation. Comparable as a DACH-based special-purpose machine builder serving automotive, aerospace, and industrial customers, but with a much broader product portfolio.
• ESAB: Global welding and cutting equipment manufacturer with FSW capability as part of a broader welding portfolio. Comparable on the welding technology dimension relevant to HAGE FSW, but operates across much wider welding and consumables segments.
• Lincoln Electric: Global welding equipment and consumables leader with FSW research activity. Comparable welding technology overlap with HAGE FSW but Lincoln Electric operates across the full welding value chain rather than specializing in bespoke FSW cells.
• KUKA: German industrial automation and robotics leader serving automotive and general manufacturing with large-scale automated production systems. Comparable in serving shared customers with integrated automation but a much broader portfolio than HAGE's special-purpose machines.

Emerging players

• Fronius: Austrian-based welding technology specialist, a direct geographic and technological neighbor to HAGE. Both serve industrial welding customers, though Fronius focuses on arc welding equipment and power sources while HAGE builds the FSW machines and integrated cells.
