Hunklinger Allortech

What Hunklinger Allortech does

Hunklinger allortech GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer of hydraulic attachments and ergonomic tools for the paving and landscaping industries, headquartered in Valley near Munich and operating from a 45,000 sqm production site. The company was founded by Bernhard Hunklinger in 1999 following his development of one of the first hydraulic paver laying clamps and transitioned to its current corporate form in 2010 under co-CEOs Albert and Lorenz Hunklinger. Core products are the HP30, P12-3, and P01-3 hydraulic paver laying clamps, the multi-stone S100 and S400 grab systems with interchangeable jaws, and a line of ergonomic hand screeding tools (PFL, PZ, PZT, AS) plus paving hand tools sold through a separate e-commerce storefront. The company differentiates through four core patents — the twist-Clamping System, Herringbone Adapter, Shifting Adapter-Plus, and switch-Umschaltautomatik — that solve specific challenges in laying warped, herringbone, and large-format pavers, and has extended into carrier machinery with the HW20 mini wheeled excavator launched in 2023.

Broad incumbents

• Bobcat Company: Global compact equipment manufacturer owned by Doosan, producing mini excavators, loaders, and attachments. Bobcat's attachment ecosystem overlaps with Hunklinger's paver laying clamp offerings for compact carriers.
• Wacker Neuson: Global manufacturer of compact construction equipment including mini excavators, wheel loaders, and compaction equipment. While much larger, Wacker Neuson competes in the mini excavator category where Hunklinger launched the HW20.
• Ammann Group: Swiss manufacturer of road construction and earthmoving equipment including compactors, pavers, and asphalt plants. Ammann is a broader incumbent in road construction machinery serving the same paving/roadwork contractors as Hunklinger.
• Manitou Group: French manufacturer of material handling, compact construction, and aerial work platforms. Manitou's telehandlers and compact equipment serve overlapping landscaping and construction customers in Europe.

Emerging players

• Steelwrist Group: Swedish manufacturer of tiltrotators and quick couplers for excavators. Steelwrist serves the same excavator attachment market and contractor customers that use Hunklinger's paver laying clamps.
• Engcon Group: Swedish manufacturer of tiltrotators and excavator attachments. Engcon competes in the excavator attachment space with a focus on hydraulic and digital solutions for compact construction equipment.

Regional players

• Kerbstone Equipment: UK-based manufacturer specializing in kerb laying equipment and paving stone handling tools. Directly comparable product category (mechanical paver laying) but primarily serves the UK market.
• KPL Attachments: Manufacturer of hydraulic attachments for excavators including clamps and grabs. KPL offers products in adjacent segments to Hunklinger's stone laying clamps with a regional focus in select markets.

Direct peers

• Optimas Vertriebsgesellschaft: German-based manufacturer and distributor of paving installation equipment and materials. Offers competing mechanical and hydraulic stone-laying solutions serving landscapers and paving contractors across Europe.
• Probst Maschinen- und Apparatebau: German manufacturer of handling equipment for paving stones, curbs, and slabs. Probst is Hunklinger's most direct competitor in hydraulic stone-laying tools and vacuum lifting systems for the same European construction/landscaping customer base.
