NON-FERROUS-METALS
ARE OUR PASSION
If you want to write a unique success story, you not only need the right employees, first-class products and reliable services - the trust of customers and suppliers also plays a crucial role.
The history of Haecker Metall impressively shows that tradition and innovation do not have to be contradictions, but can complement each other to create a successful future.
To celebrate our 140th anniversary, we invite you to an exciting journey through time. Much has changed - our company location, technology, employees and management but one thing remaind the same to this day: our passion for non-ferrous metals.

TWO FAMILIES, ONE VISION
In 1885, Ferdinand Haecker founded the company as a stockist and supplier to the Pforzheim jewellery and watchmaking industry - a visionary step that made the company one of the first trading companies for non-ferrous semi-finished metal products in Germany.
The values of reliability, expertise and customer proximity, which still define us today have spanned over two families and six generations in the meantime.
In 1898, the founder handed over the company to his son Ferdinand Haecker jr., who died in the First World War in 1918. Gustav Keller, the company‘s authorised signatory at the time, continued the business and appointed his nephew Gustav Glauner as successor. In 1956, his son Heinz Glauner joined the company and took over the remaining shares from the founder‘s family. Today, his son Bernd Glauner is leading the company.
PEOPLE, METAL AND
INNOVATION SINCE 1885
At Haecker-Metall, we are proud to have continuously driven the modernization of our company from the very beginning. For example, an electric freigth elevator was installed in our warehouse as early as 1912, and computerized data processing systems have been in use since the 1980s.
Then as now, our motivation is to create ideal working conditions for our employees - so we can offer our customers outstanding service and innovative solutions.

OUR NEW SLITTING CENTRE
A TECHNOLOGICAL LEAP
The dynamic development of our company continues - we are currently constructing our new slitting centre with 2550 m² of floor space and future-proof technology at our company site. The multitude of innovations in high-precision slitting of non-ferrous metal strips will expand our product range and give us a decisive competitive edge as we enter new markets.
OUR FUTURE
with TRADITION
At Haecker Metall, we see our long-standing tradition as a clear mandate: to preserve our core corporate values while staying attuned to the spirit of the times.
On our 140th anniversary, we are not only proud to look back, we are also focused on the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
One thing is certain to us: without the trust and strong cooperation of our customers, suppliers and employees, this unique success story would not have been possible.
We would therefore like to express our sincere thanks and look forward to writing the next chapters together with you in the decades to come. With reliability and passion for non-ferrous metals.
WE SHOW TEAM SPIRIT
Because fun should never be neglected, we also created a small, entertaining video for our anniversary.
