The story
The company was established in 1947 by Robert Hanning under the name ’Elektrobau Hanning GmbH’ in Lipperreihe near Bielefeld (Germany). In 1977 the company name was changed to ’HANNING ELEKTRO-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG’. Due to HANNINGs' stable and economic growth, the factory as well as the storage in Oerlinghausen was expanded in 1980. After the German reunification the company then established itself in 1992 in Eggesin, as the largest employer of the city. The HANNING production network, to which HANNING ELEKTRO-WERKE belongs, comprises around 1,500 employees at four locations in Germany (Oerlinghausen and Eggesin), Romania and India. In addition, there are sales partners on all continents.
