What Hase does
HASE GmbH is a German B2B contract manufacturer founded in 1972 in Trier, specializing in sheet metal processing, CNC precision machining, and custom climate control equipment. The company operates three integrated service lines — Blechverarbeitung (sheet metal processing), Zerspanungstechnik (precision machining), and Klimatechnik (climate technology) — serving enterprise customers in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, machine manufacturing, and general industrial sectors. Its product range spans single parts and small- to medium-series production of stainless steel, steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium components, including machine enclosures, control cabinets, custom food-retail counters, and complete cooling and heating stations for hygienic process environments.
The company's technical backbone is a multi-vendor CNC capital stack integrated through CAD/CAM workflows: Bystronic BySprint Fiber (4 kW) and ByStar Fiber (6 kW) flatbed lasers, a Trumpf TruPunch 3000, a TruLaser Tube 3000 Fiber, Hedelius Acura and Tiltenta 5-axis machining centers, a DMG CTX 350 turning machine, an Emco Mecof Megamill HPC3 5-axis mill, an AgieCharmilles CUT 30P wire EDM, plus Hämmmerle bending banks, a powder coating line, and a glass-bead blasting cabinet. A 540-pallet automated high-bay storage system is mechanically and digitally linked to the laser machines, and in 2024 a first fully automated, robot-linked machining cell was commissioned. Production is concentrated at the Trier headquarters, which reached 11,500 m² across four halls in 2024, supported by ISO 9001:2000 certification from TÜV Rheinland since 1996.
HASE GmbH is privately held by sole managing director Frank Schlicker, who took full control after founder Hans Hase's complete exit on November 30, 2019. The company has approximately 165 employees, no disclosed external funding or M&A activity, and operates a direct, sales-led go-to-market with project-based quoting, multi-year enterprise contracts, and no channel partners. Geographic reach is concentrated in the DACH region and Luxembourg, originally established through Hannover Messe participation since 1988. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Hase competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Feintool International Holding AG: Swiss precision metal parts manufacturer specializing in fineblanking, forming, and system components. Highly comparable in the precision metal-fabrication value chain, serving similar industrial OEM customers in Europe.
- LEWAG Holding AG: German Mittelstand manufacturer of precision metal parts and assemblies for industrial customers, with capabilities in sheet metal processing, machining, and surface treatment. Closely comparable in size, scope, and customer mix to HASE GmbH.
- Phoenix Mecano AG: Swiss-listed manufacturer of enclosures, precision components, and drive technology with a comparable mix of custom metal fabrication, machining, and assembly for industrial OEMs. Operates a similar business model combining sheet metal work with higher-value subassemblies in the DACH region.
- Heiche Group: German family-owned supplier of surface treatment, metal processing, and assembled components for automotive and industrial customers. Comparable in combining metal fabrication with in-house coating/powder finishing under one roof.
Broad incumbents
- Trumpf SE + Co. KG: Global leader in sheet metal fabrication machinery, including the laser cutting and punching equipment that HASE operates. Comparable in addressing the same sheet metal processing value chain from the equipment-maker side rather than the contract-fabricator side.
- GEA Group AG: German DAX-listed supplier of process equipment for the food and pharmaceutical industries — overlapping with HASE's Klimatechnik division that delivers cooling/heating stations and process air solutions to the same end markets.
- Bystronic AG: Swiss-listed supplier of laser cutting, bending, and automation systems for sheet metal processing. A major supplier of the BySprint/ByStar fiber lasers and automated storage installed at HASE, and representative of the broader sheet metal ecosystem HASE serves.
- Rittal GmbH & Co. KG (Friedhelm Loh Group): German market leader in industrial enclosures, control cabinets, and climate control products — overlapping directly with HASE's machine enclosure, control cabinet, and Klimatechnik offerings. Significantly larger and broader in scope, but addresses the same customer applications.
Emerging players
- Wittenstein SE: German family-owned manufacturer of precision mechatronic components and systems with deep in-house machining, gear-cutting, and assembly capabilities. Comparable in operating as a high-precision German Mittelstand manufacturer serving demanding industrial OEMs.
- EMAG GmbH & Co. KG: German manufacturer of CNC machine tools and turnkey manufacturing systems for precision metal parts, with overlapping customer base in machine manufacturing. Relevant comparable for HASE's expanding Zerspanungstechnik (precision machining) capabilities and the broader German precision-machining ecosystem.
