history
In 1905 Josef Haas founded a building and machine fitter in Vienna. His three sons Franz, Josef and Karl took over the business in 1933. During the Second World War, parts of the production were relocated to Kaplice in the occupied Czech Republic, where Franz Haas discovered his love for the material while repairing a waffle iron. In 1948 he returned to Vienna and presented his first specially produced wafer machine - the HV6 - at the Vienna Trade Fair in 1949.
Encouraged by the success of his first machine, he and his wife founded the Franz Haas wafer machine company in 1966. During this time, the four children Josef, Franz, Margarete and Johann started working in the company, who took over the company in 1974. A year later, the entire production was relocated from Vienna to a larger plant in Leobendorf, Lower Austria. In 1979 the company received the state award and thus the right to use the federal coat of arms in business dealings.
Branch offices in Curitiba (Brazil) and Richmond , Virginia (USA) followed. In 1983 Haas took over the wafer batter mixing specialist Danger and in 1986 the German biscuit machine manufacturer Hecrona, which enabled the company to build up its expertise in the biscuit machine sector.
With the integration of the Dutch mixer and aerator specialist Mondomix in 2002 and the German manufacturer of wafer cone baking systems GAM Steinhoff in 2003, the company developed into an internationally active group of companies.
In 2005 the fourth generation - Josef Haas, Johannes Haas and Stefan Jiraschek - took over the management of the company. One year later, Haas opened a sales and production site in Shanghai (China). In 2009, 85% of the Danish DFE Meincke Holding was taken over, which took on the pioneering role in the biscuit machine sector within the Haas Group.
As part of the further development of the Haas Group, Franz Haas Waffel- und Keksmaschinen-Industrie GmbH was divided into three independent companies with production facilities in Leobendorf in spring 2012:
- FHW Franz Haas Waffle Machines GmbH
- Haas-Meincke Austria GmbH (support for the Danish Haas-Meincke A / S)
- CFT Haas Convenience Food Equipment GmbH.
Together with Haas-Mondomix BV in Holland and Haas-Meincke A / S in Denmark, these companies are the development locations of the machine portfolio.
The sales and service network was continuously expanded. Haas established sales and service offices in Singapore (2001), Colombia (2011) and India (2013), as well as service locations in Russia (2013) and Turkey (2015).
The Haas Group is a regular exhibitor at international supplier fairs for the confectionery industry such as ProSweets Cologne, IBA , the world trade fair for bakery, confectionery and snacks and interpack in Germany, at Bakery China, Fispal in Brazil and IBIE in the USA.
In September 2017, the sale of the Haas Group to the Swiss technology group Bühler AG was announced, which is intended to complete the product portfolio of the Consumer Foods division of Bühler AG. The takeover was completed in January 2018.
