Haenchen Hydraulique

What Haenchen Hydraulique does

Haenchen Hydraulique S.A.R.L. is a privately held French industrial distributor founded in 1987 and headquartered in Wingersheim les quatre Bans, Alsace. Operating under the trade name Haenchen Solutions, the company resells high-end hydraulic cylinders, coaxial valves, metalworking fluid filtration and chip-processing equipment, industrial cooling systems, oil-mist extractors, filter media, and briquetting machines sourced from eight European principals: Hänchen, Müller Coax, Knoll, AR Filtrazioni, A3, Deltatherm, and Weima. The offering spans the full machine-tool fluid workflow, from actuation and fluid control to filtration, cooling, chip removal, and waste volume reduction, with engineer-led analysis, installation, and commissioning delivered as part of each project.

The firm employs nine people and covers the entire French territory through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, with engineers engaging client sites to design tailored solutions for industrial buyers across machine tool/machining (primary), hydrogen energy, naval/marine, test benches, automation and logistics, and general COAX fluid applications. End-customer industries explicitly named on the company's materials include automotive, mechanical engineering, chemicals, aerospace, and renewable energy. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and revenue mechanics are tied to hardware resale plus attached services.

Governance rests with two gérants, Tanja Hänchen and Vincent Fellrath, the latter also serving as data protection officer. The company carries no external investment, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity; its strategic position rests almost entirely on the durability of its European principal relationships and the technical credibility those relationships confer with French industrial buyers.
