Our last trade fair of 2024, bauma CONEXPO INDIA, was the perfect end to a year of successful trade fairs. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone who visited us this year, and we were thrilled that so many people were interested in our innovative products and technologies. We’d like to share a few of our photos to give you an inside look at this year’s trade fairs. Thank you once again to all our visitors!

With a ceremonial opening on October 19, 2024, we successfully completed the largest construction project in company history. To celebrate, the HBC team, HBC’s partners, and the local community enjoyed a well-attended open house event in a perfect setting at our location on Emil-Rathenau-Strasse in Crailsheim.

Exactly 20 years ago, our Spanish subsidiary HBC-radiomatic Ibérica S. L. was founded in Cornellà de Llobregat (Greater Barcelona) – an exceptional occasion that we marked with an exceptional celebration!

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our new site in Stollberg, located in the Erzgebirge region of eastern Germany. This modern facility in the “Stollberger Tor” commercial park has served as a workspace for our local production team since June 2024; here, they make HBC radio systems to support the production process at our main site in Crailsheim, Baden-Württemberg. The new facility is now also able to provide HBC customers in eastern Germany with even better customer service and replacement parts. Alongside customer service and production, the new site also includes software development.

First-class, state-of-the-art HBC design in the best quality: this is the FSE 416 radio receiver. Its tailor-made equipment package is ideal for the wireless control of hoists and standard industrial cranes. With an UL/CSA 61010-1 and UL/CSA certification 61010-2-201, the FSE 416 is ideally suitable for the North American market.

When operating heavy machinery, only a safe distance is the right distance. Getting too close to an activated machine can be just as dangerous as controlling without seeing the machine and the work environment. The solution is radiomatic^® range control. By detecting the operator’s distance to the machine, this intelligent assistance feature keeps personnel and equipment always in a safe distance. The radiomatic^® range control can be used for proximity or far field control, or both.

As operations and services are becoming more and more automated and digitally connected, product developers and process designers must also account for the possibility of attacks by malicious actors. There is clear evidence that security threats are on the rise, globally and across our industries.

The largest construction project in HBC's history is close to a successful completion. In the last few months, a new building with a total area of ​​around 5,500 square meters, spread over three floors plus basement, was built at our production site in Crailsheim. The new building enables us to significantly expand our production capacities.
