What HPS Solutions does

HPS Solutions GmbH is a German B2B industrial distributor and solutions provider specializing in fluid and gas technology, headquartered in Martinsried near Munich and founded in 2001. The company maintains a catalog of more than 35,000 articles spanning ten core product categories — fittings (compression ring, threaded, weld, face-seal/orbital, vacuum, O-ring sealed, and medium/high-pressure), pressure regulators and accessories, a full range of valves (ball, cock, check, relief, bellows, diaphragm, solenoid, etc.), quick couplings, filters including UHP gas filters, pipes and hoses (PFA, PTFE, polyurethane, polyamide), sampling cylinders and systems, sealing technology, tools, and PFA/PTFE components. Distribution is supported by same-day shipping for orders placed before 14:30 Monday through Thursday and a regional DACH go-to-market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

The company operates a hybrid distribution-plus-services model. Beyond catalog product sales, HPS offers assembly manufacturing, precision pipe bending, a certified orbital welding center for high-purity applications, project planning, consignment warehouse programs, and technical training seminars. It holds ISO 9001:2015 and TÜV certifications, and markets EC79-certified products specifically for hydrogen and fuel cell applications, positioning it in the European energy transition supply chain. The supplier network includes FITOK, asecos, Pressure Tech, CPC (Colder Products Company), GCE Group, GAS-ARC, TK-Fujikin, Conexa, Vigour, and PARCOM.

The revenue model combines one-time product sales (catalog-driven B2B e-commerce with account-gated pricing) with professional services revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — customers must register and log in to view prices — indicating an account-based, relationship-driven commercial structure rather than consumer-facing retail. The company employs 11-50 people, is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or ownership transactions, and operates as an independent GmbH with no parent company or subsidiaries disclosed.
