Company history
The company was founded by Carl Haver and Eduard Boecker in Hohenlimburg in 1887 . The company began with twelve employees, initially with the production of wire mesh and the mechanization of wire looms. Boecker left the company in 1891. Due to the employment conditions and competition in Hohenlimburg, the company was relocated to Oelde in 1897. By 1890 the workforce had doubled from twelve to 24 employees. The product range was expanded to include loop wires for bag closures in the cement industry. With the first contacts overseas, export was built up and expanded.
In 1925 the machine factory was founded, which has developed into a second mainstay of the company alongside wire weaving. In the same year Haver & Boecker started the production of packing machines. In addition to the first steps towards internationalization, metal gauze for precision screen printing and the first vibrating screen machines were developed and produced in the 1920s and 1930s. The further development until 1960 was characterized by the production of wire mesh .
The first turbine packer for cement filling was manufactured in the 1950s. In 1980 the company supplied stainless steel wire mesh for the Großvolière in Munich's Hellabrunn Zoo.
At the beginning of the 1990s, Haver & Boecker began to set up and expand the production and sales area of “architectural wire mesh”. In 2000, the expansion of the sales network in South America and Asia began.
In 2008, HAVER Southern Africa was founded in Johannesburg, South Africa. The subsidiary deals with production, manufacturing and customer service in the areas of packaging technology, processing technology and wire weaving.
In the 2013 financial year, the Haver Group generated sales of more than 470 million euros.
In 2014 a subsidiary was opened in Lagos / Nigeria.
On January 1, 2014, Haver & Boecker saw a generation change. Florian Festge and Dr. Fabian Festge took over the management of her father Dr. Reinhold Festge in the machine factory.
Florian Festge has been with the Haver Group since 2000. From 2005–2012 he was managing director of the Canadian subsidiary WS TYLER in St. Catharines, Ontario.
