Hennlich Group Gmbh

What Hennlich Group Gmbh does

Hennlich Group GmbH is a privately held, family-owned Austrian industrial technology company founded in 1922 by Hermann A. Hennlich, originally as a wholesale trading firm serving the mining and metallurgical industries in Czechoslovakia, and re-established in Schärding, Austria in 1945 after the founder's post-WWII relocation. The group develops, sources, and manufactures specialized technical components — most notably precision sealing technology (35+ years of in-house production), cooling technologies (oil/air coolers, engine coolers, heat exchangers, complete cooling systems under the HENNLICH Cooling-Technologies subsidiary), hydraulic accumulators, plastic turned parts, springs, pumps, telescopic protections, lubrication systems, technical bellows, and industrial robot cells — through its own production facilities in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Hungary, supplemented by a catalog of more than 250,000 sourced items.

The business operates a federated go-to-market model in which 22 branches across 18 countries (Austria, BENELUX, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine; Russia ceasing Q2/2026) act as independent local sales and technical-consulting entities, coordinated since 2026 under a group governance umbrella called HENNLICH Global GmbH. Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time hardware sales and custom-manufacturing orders, with revenue model types spanning industrial component sales, seal production, cooling-technology systems, specialty chemical products (EUROPAL mould protection paint via the ZUMA Chemietechnik subsidiary, acquired 1994), and technical consulting/on-site installation services. The customer base is segmented across at least 12 industrial verticals — food, chemical, mining, electrical engineering, construction materials, textile, water/waste management, wood processing, mechanical engineering, metal processing, agriculture, and glass/porcelain — with no publicly disclosed anchor logos and no public pricing (quote-based B2B).

Three specialty subsidiaries extend the platform beyond distribution: ZUMA Chemietechnik (mould protection paint, wholly owned since 1994), TF Feldmann GmbH (technical bellows and leather products, acquired 2022), and Casarini Robotica SRL (industrial robot cells using Hyundai robots, acquired 2024). The group is led by CEO Markus Zebisch with CBO Peter Korcsog heading growth and efficiency initiatives under the new HENNLICH Global structure, supported by a managing director in each country subsidiary.
