Our Technologies

Perseverance and determination are two characteristics that ensure success in any business.

*Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy, 1828 – 1910

We prioritise long-term corporate success over short-term flights of fancy.

It's not about short-term growth or profit, but about creating a solid foundation for the company through the development of sales and earnings in order to succeed long-term on the global marketplace. (...) To us, flexibility and changes are an opportunity to make us stronger for the future. This also includes finding new ways to collaborate between small and large companies. We call it "The HARTING Way".

Dr. Stephan Middelkamp

General Manager for Quality and Technologies

Plenty of brainpower and competent companions give us the tailwind we need on our journey:

The HARTING vision of the future: Connecting the All Electric Society

HARTING Quality and Technology Centre (HQT)

SPE network

Cooperating with universities (MIT commitment)

Shanghai University

He who stops being better stops being good.*

We observe our technologies over the entire life cycle of the product. To ensure that our products remain sustainable, we pay attention, right from the start, to user-friendliness, critical raw materials and their recycled content. We continuously optimise our manufacturing process. Optimised shipping, packaging and recycling also helps to reduce environmental damage. Here are a few concrete examples of how we deal with environmental protection in relation to our products.

The right hand for environmental protection

We are like Robin for Batman, Dr. Watson for Sherlock Holmes or the right hand for environmental protection. Our technologies are at home in many forward-looking markets. Whether in wind energy, rail transport or electro-mobility, our products enable sustainability and environmental protection and, thus, contribute to a clean future.

Energy storage systems: Energy when you really need it – with the Han® S

Our Han^® S was specifically developed for sustainable energy storage systems. It can be used to interconnect battery modules (BMs) to easily expand the total capacity of ESSs, which are designed on a modular basis to provide various important services. These include renewable energy integration, demand shifting and peak load reduction. By reducing peaks, it's possible to save up to 80 % on electricity expenditures.

Wind energy: Wind power switches to Ethernet

Our fibre optic transmission system serves as a matrix for Ethernet communications in modern wind turbines. We supply the complete cabling, including the rotary joint transmission. The advantage: Higher data transmission rates enable better control of the system. In addition, our Plug & Play interface ensures less downtime. Lengthy set-up times can be eliminated. System usage is optimised. That's also good for the environment!

Smart farming: Smart, smarter, AEF high voltage connector

Our AEF high voltage connector supports smart farming. The standardised connection transmits high power of 150 kW from the tractor to the implement. The electric operating mode results in improved energy efficiency compared to mechanical or hydraulic alternatives, enabling up to 20 % less diesel consumption.

E-Mobility: A charging cable for everything

A well-developed charging infrastructure with a dense network of charging stations is required for the transition to E-Mobility to be successful. That is why, in addition to vehicle charging cables, we also produce charging cables for charging stations and even charging sockets. We cover all common standards and can produce in Europe, China and the USA.
