The company was founded in 1976 by Karl Hönle and Günter Schmid as a partnership . In the following year, the corporate form was changed from a GbR to a GmbH . In 1980 the first UV irradiation devices for industrial applications were developed. In 1991 and 1992, the Dr. K. Hönle Produktions GmbH, then Dr. K. Hönle Medizintechnik GmbH founded. In 1994 the sales company Honle UV America Inc. was founded. In 1998 the French subsidiary Honle UV France Sarl and the subsidiary Aladin GmbH (UV lamp manufacturer) were founded as well as the Dr. K. Hönle Medizintechnik GmbH sold. In the same year it was converted into an AG and in 2001 the company went public. In 2002 the Dr. Hönle Resident Representative Office in Shanghai and Dr. Hönle AG moved into its new company building in Graefelfing, which is still the headquarters of the Hönle Group today.

In 2008, Hönle took over the Panacol Group (Panacol-Elosol GmbH, Eleco Panacol - EFD), an adhesive specialist, and Eltosch GmbH (sheet-fed offset) and PrintConcept GmbH (rotary printing), two drying system manufacturers for the printing industry. In 2009 the Hönle Group opened another branch in the USA, Eltosch America Inc. In 2010, Hönle took over the majority of UV-Technik Speziallampen GmbH.
