Hamitherm

What Hamitherm does

Hamitherm B.V. is a Netherlands-based, privately held manufacturer founded in 1988 by Hans Schunselaar, specializing in the design and production of thermocouple connectors and accessories for industrial temperature measurement circuits. The company's product portfolio covers miniature and standard connector formats in three material variants — thermoplastic (rated to 200-220°C), thermoset (to 350-425°C), and ceramic (to 650°C) — with a temperature range extending from -220°C to 650°C, supplemented by panel inserts, panels (aluminium and stainless steel), PCB-mount connectors, M8-M12 industrial connectors, and accessories including crimp inserts, locking clips, and wire clamp brackets. The company supplies exclusively to OEM accounts, including nearly all major European sensor and instrument manufacturers, with applications spanning automotive and automotive supplier testing, aerospace (autoclave, bonding, flight testing), heat treatment, construction (asphalt, concrete), process industries, and plastics processing.

The business operates on a B2B hardware sales model, generating revenue through direct sales of connectors and accessories. Distribution is run from the Dordrecht headquarters, which was expanded in February 2023 to 760m2 to support rising global volumes; European customers are served directly, US distribution is handled via local representatives, and the rest of the world is served from the Netherlands. The company maintains a stock of more than 80,000 thermocouple connectors plus components for an additional 150,000-200,000 units, with documented ability to double production capacity within 1-2 months. It is ISO 9001:2015 certified and RoHS compliant, and supports customer engagement through a seven-language website (English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish) with downloadable catalogs and product inquiry forms. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees and no external funding or M&A activity is recorded, indicating a founder-led, organically grown specialist manufacturer.
