Global Sales Meeting 2025 (June 11, 2025) As ONE joint team – with sales colleagues from Mixing and Curing – we enjoyed our Global Sales Meeting from 4th to 5th June at our location in Hamburg. It was a thoroughly positive experience to strengthen cooperation, information exchange and customer focus.
Perfect cooperation (February 13, 2025) Tire manufacturing is a highly complex process. This makes it all the more important that the systems used are automated in a flexible and scalable way. This is why the HF Group relies on a decentralized automation concept from Murrelektronik - with IO-Link - for its Curemaster PCR tire press. This reduces the wiring time from around 200 hours to just 60 hours.
Together for more customer value. (April 26, 2024) HF is pleased to inform that HF Mixing Group and HF TireTech Group from now on will operate under the umbrella of the HF Group with one joint management team.
HF announces a new member of the board. (October 16, 2023) Starting September 1st Karsten Stern stepped into HF Management board. Together with Mr Zoran Uranjek he will lead HF TireTech Group`s and HF FoodTech Group`s future business.
