Habets

What Habets does

Habets B.V. is a privately held Dutch industrial components manufacturer and surface technology service provider, founded in 1944 in Nuth, Limburg, Netherlands. The company specializes in the unique combination of large-format heavy machining and five thermal spraying processes (Autogenic Wire/Powder, Atmospheric Plasma, Electric Wire, HP HVOF) under one roof, serving the steel, wind, and heavy/offshore industries. Its product and service portfolio spans new component manufacturing (runout table rolls, looper rolls, pellet rolls, planetary carriers for wind turbines, flanges, torque supports, propeller shafts, pump houses, impellers), component refurbishment returning parts to like-new condition at roughly one-third the price of new manufacture, and dedicated surface technology services. Habets holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and GTS thermal spraying certifications and operates a Zeiss 3D coordinate measuring center for micron-level quality control.

Revenue model

1. New Component Manufacturing: Manufacturing of new custom industrial components including runout table rolls, pellet rolls, looper rolls, planetary carriers, flanges, torque supports, shafts, propeller shafts, thruster systems, pump houses, impellers, mechanical drives, hoisting drums, shredder shafts for steel, wind, oil & gas, dredging, and maritime industries.
2. Component Repair & Refurbishment: Revising and repairing critical industrial components including chocks, rolls, shafts, bearing blocks using thermal spraying and machining. Components returned as new at fraction of new price (approximately 1/3 of new price) with guarantee. Services include disassembly, damage/inspection reports, repair proposals, and fleet management.
3. Surface Technology Services: Thermal coating services using various techniques (Autogenic, Plasma, HVOF, Electric wire) for wear resistance, corrosion protection, and dimensional correction on customer components.

Core offering

Habets manufactures custom large industrial components and provides refurbishment services for critical parts used in the steel, wind, and heavy/offshore industries. The company combines thermal spraying (Autogenic, Plasma, HVOF, Electric wire) with heavy CNC machining (turning up to 8000mm length / 50 tonnes; vertical carousel turning up to 3600mm diameter) under one roof to manufacture new components and extend the service life of existing industrial parts at approximately one-third of new replacement cost.

Product overview

Habets is an industrial components manufacturer and surface technology service provider offering a unique combination of thermal spraying and heavy machining under one roof. The product portfolio centers on large, complex industrial components for the steel industry (runout table rolls, looper rolls, pellet rolls, chock refurbishment, roll refurbishment), wind industry (planetary carriers, flanges, torque supports), and heavy/offshore industries (offshore components, pump houses, mechanical drives). Habets operates five distinct thermal spraying processes: Autogenic Wire/Powder Spraying, Atmospheric Plasma Spraying, Electric Wire Spraying, and HP HVOF Spraying. Supporting services include chock fleet management, 3D coordinate measuring, and comprehensive repair/refurbishment capabilities. The company serves as both product manufacturer and service partner, with core competencies in heavy machining (CNC turning up to 8000mm, vertical carousel turning up to Ø3600mm, CNC milling/boring up to 8000mm) and surface technology applications.

Direct peers

• Sulzer Ltd: Swiss industrial engineering group whose Applied Services division offers thermal spray, rotating equipment repair, and component refurbishment for heavy industrial customers — closely overlapping with Habets' integrated refurbishment model.
• Durum Verschleissschutz GmbH: German thermal spray and wear-protection specialist focused on industrial components. Comparable niche scale and product/service mix to Habets in the wear-resistant coating space.
• Chromalloy: Specialist in thermal spray coatings and component repair, with strong presence in aerospace and industrial gas turbines. Comparable to Habets in coating technology and component-life-extension services.
• Bodycote plc: Global leader in thermal processing services including thermal spray and surface treatments. Directly comparable to Habets' surface technology / thermal spray service line for industrial customers across multiple end markets.
• Linde plc (Praxair Surface Technologies): Industrial gas major with a Surface Technologies division offering thermal spray coatings and component repair services. Direct competitor in thermal spray service delivery for industrial OEMs.
• Castolin Eutectic: European specialist in thermal spray equipment, wear-protection consumables, and surface technology services. Overlaps with Habets on thermal spray processes and wear-resistant coating applications.
