About Us
Writing history successfully.
We not only look forward excitedly to the future, but also back to a tradition spanning many decades. The history of HALBE begins at the end of the 1940s. Since that time, we have not only continuously improved our frames, but also developed ourselves further. Thus, the small workshop became a medium-sized firm which is already being managed in the second generation. 50 employees exert themselves with a high level of dedication and commitment for our customers and the company. A close-knit team that contributes passionately to the development and perfection of individual solutions – with great success.
Reminiscing – and looking ahead.
