The HIL Heeresinstandsetzunglogistik GmbH is a company active in the maintenance and repair of large military equipment of the Bundeswehr. It is owned by the federal government . Your contractual task is to guarantee a daily availability of at least 70 percent for selected weapon systems and devices of the army and the armed forces base (so-called HIL device ) with unrestricted operational capability and compliance with regulations.
Companies
In February 2005, HIL signed a service contract with the Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement for a period of eight years and was commissioned with the repair of selected equipment of the army and the armed forces base . The contract had a volume of max. 1.77 billion euros. In order to fulfill its tasks, the HIL took over from the federal government free of charge civil repair personnel from the repair force (approx. 1900 industrial workers), as well as three repair works of the Bundeswehr in Darmstadt , Doberlug-Kirchhain and St. Wendel . The properties may only be used to provide services for the federal government. When fulfilling its contract with the federal government, the company also relies on mobile repair workers from the army and the armed forces base, as well as on the capacities of the industry, with which HIL, as a public client, subcontracts within the meaning of public procurement law.
Until December 31, 2012, HIL was a cooperation company between the federal government with 49 percent and HIL Industrieholding GmbH with 51 percent shares, in which the companies Diehl Land Systems (DLS), Rheinmetall Landsysteme (RLS) and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW ) were involved in equal shares. On January 1, 2013, the federal government took over all of the shares in the company, so that it has continued to operate as a “private company” of the federal government ever since. The reasons for this are new EU procurement directives and the introduction of unbundling proceedings by the Federal Cartel Office. According to the Defense Ministry, the nationalization has no effect on the almost 2000 jobs at HIL. On January 30, 2013, the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Bundeswehr (BAAINBw) concluded a connection service contract with HIL.
Privatization efforts
From 2016, under the then State Secretary Katrin Suder , efforts were made to privatize the three main HIL plants. In October 2019, however, the incumbent Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer implemented a political promise from her time as Saarland Prime Minister and stopped the privatization that was controversial among the workforce.
