history
HMS was founded in 1988 by Nicolas Hassbjer in Halmstad (Sweden). The company initially dealt with the development of sensors. After a short time the focus was shifted to industrial communication . Under the Anybus brand , the company has developed a technology that makes it easier for manufacturers of automation devices to connect their devices to numerous industrial networks. Based on this technology, HMS offers ready-to-install communication modules for industrial fieldbus and industrial Ethernet networks. The Anybus technology is today a widely used de facto standard in automation technology .
Due to the demand for industrial communication technology outside of Scandinavia, HMS built up a worldwide sales network. It has its own branches in the USA ( Chicago ), Japan ( Tokyo ), China ( Beijing ), Germany ( Karlsruhe , Ravensburg ), Italy ( Milan ), France ( Mulhouse ), Denmark ( Copenhagen ), England ( Coventry ) and India ( Pune ). The production takes place exclusively in the head office.
