HARGASSNER France

What HARGASSNER France does

Hargassner is an Austrian family-owned manufacturer of renewable heating systems, founded in 1984 in Weng im Innkreis and now led by the second generation of the Hargassner family. The company designs, produces, and distributes biomass boilers (pellet, wood chip, and log wood gasifier), air/water heat pumps using natural R290 refrigerant, solar thermal collectors, and integrated control/app products across a power range from 6 kW residential units to 2,500 kW industrial boilers with cascade solutions up to 10 MW. Its technology base rests on proprietary combustion control (lambda probe, Eco-Control system), emission reduction hardware (eCleaner particle filter), and intelligent hybrid operation that combines biomass boilers with heat pumps.

The business model is hardware-centric and partner-driven: ~70% of production is exported to 43 countries through a combination of direct field sales forces in Austria and Bavaria, certified installer networks, and international subsidiaries/distributors. Pricing is project-based (one-time hardware sale plus accessories) with revenue also from training via the Hargassner Academy, control apps, and aftermarket service. Manufacturing runs from a 110,000 m² footprint with annual capacity of 30,000 boilers, supplemented by subsidiaries including GILLES (Austria), Rakoczy Stal and HT Heiztechnik (Poland), and a minority stake in Thermosolar. Customers span residential homeowners (the primary segment), agriculture and forestry operators, hospitality, public buildings, and industrial enterprises, with installed base exceeding 185,000 systems worldwide.
