What Hafner-pneumatik Kramer Gmbh & Co. Kg does

Hafner-Pneumatik Krämer GmbH & Co. KG is a privately held German manufacturer of industrial pneumatic components, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Kornwestheim near Stuttgart. The company operates as a Kommanditgesellschaft (limited partnership) under managing director Andreas Krämer and produces pneumatic valves, cylinders, fittings, air preparation equipment, tubing, and customized special-purpose solutions in-house at its European facility. Its technical portfolio spans ISO-standardized cylinder families (ISO 15552, ISO 6432, ISO 21287), NAMUR-interface valves, valve terminals with EtherCAT/PROFINET/Sub-D fieldbus connectivity, fail-safe cylinder-valve units, and specialty lines for explosion-proof (ATEX), stainless steel, low-temperature (-40°C), and high-temperature environments. Certifications include ISO 9001, SIL 3 functional safety, ATEX/Ex, and EAC (Eurasian Conformity), enabling deployment in regulated industrial segments.

The company serves six primary industrial verticals: machine engineering and process valve automation are flagged as primary segments, while commercial and municipal vehicles, rail vehicles, offshore/marine, and pulp and paper are secondary. Go-to-market combines direct B2B e-commerce via hafner-pneumatik.com (with product catalog, CAD downloads, request lists, and quotation-based pricing) with a network of eight named regional sales partners across Germany and Hungary, supplemented by localized Hungarian and Slovak storefronts. Marketing channels include YouTube tutorials, blog/news content, email newsletters, LinkedIn, Facebook, and a documentation downloads portal. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of catalog and customized components under 30-day payment terms; no public pricing is listed. The company actively evolves its product range, with the MD series transitioning to the MDS series in Q3 2026 and a new oscillating valve (PFF 520 701 G) launched in July 2026, while discontinuing its Ex ia solenoid line in May 2026 due to upstream supplier exit.

Core offering

Hafner-Pneumatik designs and manufactures industrial pneumatic components — including pneumatic valves, pneumatic cylinders, fittings, air preparation equipment, function fittings, tubing, and extreme-condition variants — together with customized pneumatic solutions built from its modular product range. All products are manufactured in Europe and targeted at industrial customers in machine engineering, process automation, commercial/municipal vehicles, rail, offshore/marine, and pulp and paper industries.

Product overview

HAFNER Pneumatik is a manufacturer of industrial pneumatic components offering a comprehensive modular product portfolio centered on pneumatic valves and cylinders as core products. The product range spans valves (including solenoid valves, NAMUR valves, manifold systems, valve terminals with EtherCAT/PROFINET/Sub-D interfaces, and specialty valves for extreme conditions), pneumatic cylinders (ISO standardized profile, round, compact, and specialty cylinders), fittings (push-in, compression, quick-coupling), air preparation equipment (FRL units, pressure switches), function fittings (flow regulators, non-return fittings), and tubing (PA, PU, PTFE materials). The company also provides customized solutions based on their modular product range with 30 years of experience, including special valves and cylinder-valve unit combinations for specific industrial requirements across machine engineering, process valve automation, commercial vehicles, rail vehicles, offshore/marine, and pulp/paper industries. All products are manufactured in Europe with multiple certifications including ISO 9001, SIL 3, and ATEX (Ex).
