Hilge GmbH & Co. KG: 150 years of Hilge – Leading in technology through innovations

The name Hilge has been synonymous with quality and safety since 1862. The company is known for stainless steel cen­­trifugal pumps in hygienic design and is active around the world in the beverage technology, food technology, pharmaceu­­ticals and biochemistry mar­­kets. In addi­­tion, Hilge develops custom­­er-specific solutions for the industrial, envi­­ron­­men­­tal and surface engineering sectors.

The pumps are manufactured for sensi­­tive hygienic processes exclusively from rolled and forged steel. The use of high-precision manufacturing technologies such as CNC-controlled milling and turn­­ing centres, weld­­ing robots and state-of-the-art inspec­­tion processes demon­­strate the high quality standards. Today, Hilge products are an important segment in the Grundfos Group, which acquired the company in 2004, thus speeding up its market entry in the food, beverage and pharmaceuticals sectors.
