HBE GmbH

Who we are

Components for hydraulic and drive technology

HBE develops and produces precision-fit oil tanks made of steel and aluminium. Also high-quality hydraulic components, heat exchangers and shaft and flange couplings have been a part of HBE‘s extensive portfolio since the company foundation in 1984. HBE is one of the leading manufacturers of components for fluid and drive technology in its market segments through reliable customer service and highest technical quality standards. Whether accessories around the use of pump and motor or a ready-to-install hydraulic tank – with our diverse product range we can supply a complete package.

In our own on-site steel construction department, we quickly and flexibly produce orders according to customer specifications for ready-to-assemble tanks, welded constructions and flame-cut parts and blanks in both standard and stainless steel. Short-term delivery of standardised tanks and oil sumps is ensured by our extensive stock levels.

In addition to an extensive selection of series-produced items that are always in stock, a large proportion of our products are manufactured to order. Personal contact with the customer and comprehensive consultation in the realisation of individual requests are a matter of course for us. Our customer-oriented flexibility has been a reliable HBE feature for our clients for many years.

Well-known companies from all areas of mechanical and plant engineering use HBE products worldwide today. In addition to the high quality, they appreciate the short delivery times, which we can make possible through optimised warehousing. In order to be able to offer competent on-site service, HBE is represented by several sales offices in Germany.

With own subsidiaries in Italy, France, Great Britain, USA, China and India along with further sales partners in all important industrial countries worldwide, we always operate close to our customers. To ensure our quality standards for all our sales offices, all employees are continuously trained.

For the independent configuring of bellhousings, couplings and hydraulic accessories, we provide our customers with online software. With the P+Calculator, calculations can be made for more than 4,000 pumps from about 150 manufacturers. The PW+Calculator allows a quick and reliable calculation of the brazed plate coolers of the DOC® series. The H+Calculator has been designed for sizing suitable heaters. Calculations for the oil-air cooler are made with the AC+Calculator.
