Maskinfabrikken HMA

What Maskinfabrikken HMA does

Maskinfabrikken HMA A/S is a privately held Danish contract machine shop founded in 1985 by Heine Richter Hansen in Odense, Denmark, and currently co-owned by CEO John Richter Hansen and CTO Kent Norman Larsen following a 2004 management buyout. The company operates two production sites — its Odense headquarters (Lind Hansens Vej 6) and a 1,200 sqm secondary facility in Langeskov with 11 CNC machines and 5 staff — and employs 38 skilled personnel, many with multi-decade tenure. Its core offering is integrated CNC machining (milling, turning, and multi-task processing combined in single setups), supplemented by certified welding (MIG/MAG/TIG/robot/electrode), cold brunering surface treatment, and 3D printing via Bambu X1, all programmed through EdgeCam 3D and supported by robot handling for workpieces up to 70 kg.

HMA holds ISO 9001:2015, EN 1090, and FKM (Forschungskuratorium Maschinenbau) supplier approvals, and delivers full PPAP documentation for valve-grade components. Its customer base spans industrial manufacturers in environmental, automation, energy, food, and general machinery sectors in Denmark and internationally, with named customer Roll-o-Matic A/S producing plastic-bag machinery. Recent capital investment includes the DNM 750 L II with 4th axis (September 2025), multiple CMZ turning centers, DN Solutions LYNX 300M, PUMA 2600 SY, and DVF-5000 5-axis machining center.

The business operates on a direct sales model with project-based, quote-driven pricing and no public rate cards; channels are the company website, LinkedIn, trade press coverage (Metal Supply, Teknovation), and customer days. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company's strategic posture is investment-led organic growth: capacity expansion via machine acquisitions, product-line broadening into additive manufacturing and stainless steel processing, and craftsmanship differentiation under the motto "Håndværk, på en ny måde!" (Craftsmanship in a new way). No external investors, M&A activity, or partnership disclosures appear in the available record, and the ownership remains entirely management-controlled.
