Hatebur Umformmaschinen

What Hatebur Umformmaschinen does

Hatebur Umformmaschinen AG is a privately held Swiss industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1930 and headquartered in Reinach, Switzerland, with assembly operations in Birsfelden and a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary, Carlo Salvi S.p.A., based in Lecco. The company designs and produces high-precision hot-forming and cold-forming machines under the HOT*matic*, COLD*matic*, and Carlo Salvi brands, along with progressive headers, 1 Die 2 Blow / 2 Die 4 Blow headers, precision dies, and a full service-and-tools portfolio. Press capacities span from 60 kN compact units to 20,000 kN industrial formers, capable of producing wheel flanges, gear wheels, bearing rings, fasteners, drivetrain components, cam lobes, and BEV-relevant parts from steel bar stock in fully automated processes. Proprietary technology features include a servo motor infeed (with over 20 years of development) and an ORS oil regeneration system that enables up to 90% reuse of lubricating oil.

The company sells primarily through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, supplemented by a virtual showroom for scheduled product demonstrations and active participation at international trade fairs (wire Düsseldorf, MF-TOKYO, Torque-Expo, MetalForm China, EUROFORGE). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are quote-based, configured to each customer's machine specification, tooling, and throughput requirements. Revenue streams include hardware sales of machines and precision tools, plus professional services covering spare parts, on-site repair, inspection, overhaul, exchange units, mobile re-machining, training, and remote maintenance. Served segments include fastener manufacturing, automotive (ICE and BEV), bearings, aerospace, oil and gas, and construction/household goods, with the merger of Hatebur and Carlo Salvi explicitly designed to deliver complementary product coverage across hot and cold forming technology domains.

Core offering

Manufactures hot and cold forming machines, including HOTmatic and COLDmatic lines and multi-station headers (1 Die 2 Blow, 2 Die 4 Blow, and Progressive), as well as precision tooling. Products are built for high-volume production of fasteners, bearings, and complex metal components.

Product overview

Hatebur Umformmaschinen offers a comprehensive portfolio of forming machines and precision tools under the Hatebur and Carlo Salvi brands. The product lineup includes HOT*matic* hot forming machines (AMP and HM series) for precision forging of wheel flanges, gear wheels, bearing rings, and nuts; COLD*matic* cold forming machines (CM series) for electric vehicle parts; 1 Die 2 Blow Headers (CS series) for nuts and fasteners; 2 Die 4 Blow Headers (CS series) for complex fastener production; and Progressive Headers (CS series) for producing parts with extremely complex shapes and tolerances. Carlo Salvi, an acquired brand, complements the range with specialized progressive headers. The company also provides comprehensive Tools & Processes services (consultation, simulation, design, production, testing, training) and Service & Support offerings (spare parts, repairs, inspection, overhaul, remote maintenance). New innovations include the ORS (Oil Regeneration System) for sustainable lubrication and servo infeed technology for both hot and cold formers.
