EHP Weighing Technology

What EHP Weighing Technology does

EHP Weighing Technology GmbH (EHP Wägetechnik GmbH) is a privately held German manufacturer founded in 1979 and headquartered in Bühl, Baden-Württemberg. The company designs, develops and produces industrial crane scales, load cells (compression, tension, weighing modules), and mobile weighing systems entirely in-house at its German facility, with all research, software/hardware development and production co-located. EHP pioneered the world's first calibratable crane scale in 1986, originally engineered for extreme foundry use at ambient temperatures up to 1,600°C, and now markets a portfolio spanning 100 kg to 200 t capacity with 0.03% load-cell accuracy, EN 13155 5:1 mechanical safety factors, CE-M/OIML approval for legal-for-trade use, and a connected ecosystem (Netscale, IoT-Box with Siemens CPU 1212 and Profinet, Telebox PLC, DRC 433 remote, Scale Control software, large Matrix LED display).

The company sells primarily through direct, quote-based engagement via its website, phone hotline and email, with all sales routing through an in-house sales team rather than e-commerce. Revenue is generated across hardware sales (crane scales, load cells, OEM sensors, accessories), recurring services (calibration, repair, maintenance, spare parts with sub-three-day turnaround), rental scales for 0.5–50 t temporary needs, and on-site heavy-load weighing up to 600 t including center-of-gravity determination. Primary verticals are foundries/metallurgy, steel trade and metal processing, logistics and warehousing, aerospace (Airbus, MTU Aero Engines), heavy machinery (Caterpillar, Herrenknecht, MAN, Daimler), clean-room/chemical, recycling, and marine/shipbuilding, with over 25,000 EHP crane scales deployed globally and products commonly remaining in service for decades.

EHP remains a founder/family-owned GmbH led by Managing Director Markus Ebel, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, acquisitions, or IPO activity. Growth is funded internally and executed via incremental product launches (most recently the 2025 Load Link ZL-V2 with LORA and an updated CS Dynamometer) and ecosystem extensions into Industry 4.0 PLC/ERP integration rather than via external capital or M&A.
