Hss Industrietechnik Gmbh

What Hss Industrietechnik Gmbh does

HSS Industrietechnik GmbH is a privately held, family-owned industrial refrigeration and heating systems specialist headquartered in Altshausen, Baden-Württemberg, and operating under the trade name HSS Kälte- & Wärmesysteme. The company is jointly led by managing partners Anton Stocker and Frank Schlageter. Its core offer spans four product lines — Industriekühlung (industrial cooling: chillers, free coolers, heat exchangers, and lubricant cooling systems with Siemens S7 PLC integration), Gewerbekühlung (commercial refrigeration using CO2/R744 natural refrigerant), Klimatisierung (climate control for offices, hotels, server rooms, and production halls), and Wärmepumpen (industrial heat pumps built on Daikin's Altherma 3 platform with R-32 refrigerant). It also operates a Mietkälte (rental cooling) service delivering mobile 5-1,000 kW units with 24-hour delivery across Germany.

Revenue is generated through custom hardware sales (engineered-to-order cooling systems), installation and commissioning, professional service and maintenance contracts including 24h emergency support, and a managed-rental model for temporary cooling. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engineering-led consultation, supported by a small digital footprint (website lead capture, Google Ads, LinkedIn/Instagram presence, and reference-customer case studies). The customer base is concentrated in southern Germany's Oberschwaben region (Ravensburg, Biberach, Sigmaringen, Bodensee) with named enterprise accounts including Liebherr-International Deutschland, TRUMPF, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma, Deutz AG, SICK AG, Geberit Produktions, Gühring KG, SHW Automotive, and Ravensburger AG, alongside mid-market logistics and food customers. Authorized partnerships with Daikin (heat pump supply), ABT Haustechnik (residential referral), and Knoll Maschinenbau (worldwide coolant-system service) extend the company's reach without significant capital deployment.
