HÖRMANN Rawema GmbH, a HÖRMANN Group company, created a development location almost two years ago with its showroom, a test workshop for Industry 4.0 in Chemnitz. The test workshop allows the challenges and opportunities of Industry 4.0 to be formulated, demonstrated and analysed. At the request of the curator of the MaschinenBoom exhibition, an additional experience has been created as part of these activities: “Depicting and optimising material flow systems is one of the key tasks of factory planning. With our digital factory planning table, we have created a cyber-physical system that allows users to experience the systems intuitively,” says innovation manager Benjamin Bielefeld, Head of Research & Development at HÖRMANN Rawema.

The HÖRMANN Group has published a sustainability report for the first time. The voluntary preparation of this extensive report based on the international guidelines issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI standards) underlines the long-term focus of HÖRMANN Industries.

HÖRMANN Industries GmbH (corporate bond, WKN: A2TSCH) today published its financial results for the first three months of 2022. In the reporting period, the Group's sales decreased year-on-year from EUR 138.2 million to EUR 127.0 million. The decline in sales mainly resulted from the Automotive division, which was impacted in the first quarter of 2022 by the effects of the war in Ukraine as well as the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply shortages of electronic components. As a result of a lack of cable harnesses from Ukraine, the plants in Gustavsburg and Banovce, Slovakia, which focus on truck components, had to sharply reduce their production as customers of the HÖRMANN Group had to cease production. Overall, sales in the Automotive division fell by EUR 8.6 million compared with the same period of the previous year, from EUR 88.6 million to EUR 80.0 million. In contrast, the Communicatio division got off to a good start in the new 2022 financial year after a very good year in 2021 and achieved sales of EUR 35.0 million (previous year: EUR 34.1 million).
