Sweden: HAWE Hydraulik founds subsidiary in Sweden

The supplier of hydraulic components and systems, HAWE Hydraulik SE is expanding its worldwide sales and service network that presently has 14 subsidiaries and over 30 distributors. Sweden is the second country (beside Finland) in Scandinavia with its own subsidiary. Local hydraulic experts will meet now all demands of medium and large OEMs in all industries.

The HAWE brand is already well known in this region, especially for the control of cranes and drilling rigs, but the expertise and experience goes into other regions beyond those industries. Particularly in construction and forestry machines, as well as in stationary systems, the company supplies both energy-efficient and compact power units as well as components for high pressure ranges up to 700 bar.

Karl Haeusgen, CEO and member of the Management Board of HAWE Hydraulik Sweden, explicitly welcomes the opening: "The office in Sweden was long overdue. The professional and cooperative support of our customers is a key element of our success. Thanks to the new location, our Swedish OEM customers will benefit from competent advice on site and a quick delivery of our hydraulic solutions from the modular system, if needed just-in-time."

Jörgen Ahlstrand will be responsible for the Swedish business. He brings extensive market and hydraulic knowledge through his long-standing activities at PMC Hydraulics. "This should be a really exciting challenge, to drive the business in this region for HAWE and attract new customers. We will initially operate with 4 employees from Gothenburg. The goal is that we have all processes 100% running in Q3." He summarizes the recent activities.

The official registration of HAWE Hydraulik Sweden AB took place on April 1 2016. The long-time sales partner PMC Hydraulics AB will continue to sell HAWE products as well as be responsible for all service and spare parts activities.
