HENNLICH Slovenija

What HENNLICH Slovenija does

HENNLICH Slovenija (legal entity HENNLICH d.o.o.) is a Kranj-based, privately held Slovenian industrial engineering distributor and member of the international HENNLICH Group, in operation for approximately 30 years (founded ~1994) with a 30-person team. The company distributes a broad portfolio of technical industrial components and engineered systems — including polymer sliding bearings and energy chains from igus, industrial Ethernet and IoT networking equipment from ORing and 1NCE, SUSPA workplace ergonomics, DSH dust suppression hoppers, and Straub pipe couplings — alongside its own HENNLICH-Cooling-Technologies brand of hydraulic oil coolers covering 1–1,000 kW capacity, with custom engineering for bespoke applications. It also offers on-site assembly, mounting, and after-sales services delivered by field technicians across Slovenia and selectively into Croatia and Bosnia.

The business model combines technical-consultation-led direct sales, project-based quotation pricing (no public price list), assembly and installation services billed by time and materials, and a B2B e-commerce shop for catalog components. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by specialized product managers and sales engineers, supplemented by recurring innovation competitions (SLO manus, SLO Vector, ROIBOT) co-organized with igus to engage Slovenian industrial and academic innovators. Customers are Slovenian manufacturers and industrial producers across verticals including general manufacturing, agriculture, construction, robotics, and metalworking, with no public revenue or large-anchor customer concentration disclosed. The company is part of a European group described as having the highest credit rating, indicating a financially stable but not aggressively growing subsidiary operating within a defined national footprint.

Core offering

HENNLICH Slovenija distributes industrial technical components and systems from leading global manufacturers (igus, ORing, SUSPA, Cooling-Technologies) and produces its own HENNLICH-Cooling-Technologies hydraulic coolers. The company supplies energy chains, polymer sliding bearings, linear guides, industrial networking, ergonomics solutions, and 20+ other product categories to Slovenian industrial customers. It also provides custom-engineered solutions and on-site assembly, mounting, and maintenance services.

Product overview

HENNLICH Slovenija is an industrial engineering and distribution company — an official representative of German manufacturers Igus GmbH (polymer bearings, energy chains, flexible cables, drylin linear guides, smart plastics for Industry 4.0) and distributor of ORing industrial networking equipment, SUSPA ergonomic workplace systems, and its own HENNLICH Cooling-Technologies hydraulic coolers. The company also distributes a broad range of industrial components across 20+ categories: valves and explosion protection, spray nozzles, pumping/compression, dosing, mixing, electric heating, springs, filtration, measurement/control, lubrication, sealing, mechanical protection, linear motion (TR/THK), material transport (vsipniki, chip conveyors), and hydraulic coolers. The portfolio also includes ergnomics solutions (height-adjustable tables, mobile barriers). The company organizes three local competition programs (SLO manus, SLO Vector, ROIBOT) as the Slovenian arm of igus award programs. Core business model is distribution, technical consulting, assembly, and maintenance of industrial components — not a software or SaaS platform.

Broad incumbents

• Conrad Electronic: European broad-line distributor of technical and industrial components with Slovenian storefront. Comparable in providing Slovenian industrial customers with multi-brand component access, though more skewed toward electronics and SMB.
• SMC Slovenia: Slovenian operation of SMC Corporation, one of the largest global pneumatics and industrial automation component manufacturers. Overlaps with HENNLICH in industrial valves, pneumatics, and motion control components for the Slovenian industrial market.
• Bosch Rexroth Slovenia: Slovenian presence of Bosch Rexroth, a major industrial hydraulics, linear motion, and factory automation supplier. Directly comparable in the hydraulics and linear motion product categories where HENNLICH distributes igus and Cooling-Technologies products.
• Distrelec / Schuricht: European industrial electronics and components distributor with presence in Slovenia. Comparable in serving industrial customers with broad multi-brand technical component portfolios, including automation, networking, and electromechanical products.
• THK Slovenia (or TR/SMC direct presence): Direct Slovenian/EU presence of THK Co. Ltd., a global leader in linear motion components. Comparable because HENNLICH Slovenija explicitly distributes THK and TR linear motion products, creating a direct distribution-vs-principal overlap.
• Festo Slovenia: Slovenian arm of Festo, a global industrial automation incumbent selling pneumatics, electric automation, and process control components to the same Slovenian industrial customer base. Competes for similar budget lines (motion, fluid power) with a broader global portfolio.
• WAGO Slovenia: Slovenian operation of WAGO, a global leader in electrical interconnection, industrial networking, and automation. Comparable in industrial networking and IIoT product categories where HENNLICH distributes ORing solutions.

Direct peers

• igus Slovenia (direct igus presence): Direct Slovenian presence of igus GmbH, the same principal supplier that HENNLICH Slovenija distributes for. They overlap in polymer bearings, energy chains, linear guides, and smart plastics; competition intensity depends on igus's direct-vs-distribution strategy in Slovenia.
• Bürklin: German-headquartered industrial component distributor offering a broad catalog of technical industrial supplies including hydraulics, sensors, and automation parts. Similar business model of distributing multiple premium industrial brands with technical sales support.
• HENNLICH GmbH & Co KG (Group / Austria): Parent group of HENNLICH Slovenija and operator of the HENNLICH industrial distribution business across Europe. Closest comparable entity given shared brand, supplier relationships (igus, ORing, etc.), and similar industrial distribution/service model.
