Despite its global success, the Group remains deeply connected to its roots in the Ruhr region, the place where the history of the Schauenburg Hose Technology Group began. Family solidarity, honest work and reliable quality: not only the Ruhr region stands for this. Since its foundation in 1953, the Schauenburg Hose Technology Group has proudly upheld these values in all its subsidiaries, guaranteeing excellent hose solutions and comprehensive, personalised customer service.
