2017

HAI is looking back on ten successful years. The anniversary year is being celebrated accordingly with all its employees. The company will not be resting on its laurels, however:
the new aluminium extrusion press in Soest is being put into operation. Around 60 new jobs will be created. Other milestones this year include the formation of WestAluTec GmbH with HAI’s longstanding partner Faulenbach Eloxal GmbH in Sprockhövel, as well as a 4-million-euro investment in expanding the homogenisation plant in Santana.
A budget of 5 million euros has been approved for the new RIFTEC building, due for construction in 2018. HAI is therefore perfectly prepared for the market challenges to be faced in the coming ten years.
