At our headquarters in Obdach, in the heart of Styria, Austria, we have created a center for high-tech innovation. Across two specialized production facilities and state-of-the-art engineering offices, we bring engineering, software development, and assembly together under one roof.
A particular highlight is our in-house FSW Center of Excellence. For more than 15 years, we have been setting technological standards worldwide in accordance with EN ISO standards. Here, we test process parameters, produce initial samples, and work closely with our customers to develop the optimal solution.
For you, this means: less risk during the ramp-up phase, reproducible results from day one, and a partner who understands your specific challenges.
Those who build the industry of tomorrow also carry responsibility for today. At HAGE, sustainability is not a matter of communication – it is part of our daily decision-making.
- Solar energy - Photovoltaic systems on our company premises enable us to generate a significant share of our electricity needs ourselves.
- Electric mobility - EV charging stations are available on our premises for employees and visitors. We are also gradually transitioning our vehicle fleet to electric vehicles.
- Paperless processes - We are consistently digitalizing our internal workflows. From engineering to production planning, we already work largely paperless.
- Resource efficiency - We optimize material flows and energy consumption in production and continuously monitor key operational performance indicators.
- Long-term thinking instead of short-term focus - As a family-owned company, we think in generations rather than quarters. This mindset shapes every investment decision we make.
We have not yet reached our goal on this journey. But we measure, improve, and report – because transparency is the first step.
Precision starts with people. Building systems where there is no room for error requires a team that can perform at its best every single day. HAGEfit is the fuel behind our innovative strength. Whether it is physical fitness, nutrition, or mental well-being, we invest in the people behind the machines.
Would you like to work in a team that sees boundaries not as obstacles, but as an invitation to push further? Then HAGE is the right place for you.

The Origin in a Classroom
With three employees, the HAGE success story begins on March 1, 1982, in a classroom of a former school under the name “Hampel Werkzeug- und Vorrichtungsbau.” A start-up with a vision – long before the term even existed.
New Location & Technological Leap
Rapid growth leads to the move to HAGE’s current location in Obdach. New assembly halls are built, while the introduction of CAD/CAM marks a major technological leap in the engineering department.
Certified Excellence
HAGE grows to 50 employees and receives the Austrian Quality Mark. ISO 9001 certification establishes the formal quality standard for our increasingly global operations.
The Birth of HAGEmatic
With our first machining center for aluminum and steel profiles, we redefine profile machining. In the years that follow, the HAGEmatic product line becomes one of our long-standing technological success stories.
Continuity and New Visions
Brothers Stefan and Florian Hampel follow in their father’s footsteps, taking over technical and commercial management respectively. Tradition meets forward-looking leadership.
Global Breakthrough
From North America to the Far East, HAGEmatic enters international markets and strengthens HAGE’s reputation as a global provider of solutions to complex manufacturing challenges.
Revolutionizing Sawing Technology
With highly automated sawing systems, we revolutionize the sawing and punching of complex geometries and set new benchmarks for productivity.
Pioneering FSW Technology
HAGE recognizes the potential of Friction Stir Welding at an early stage. We begin developing hybrid machining centers, laying the foundation for today’s FSW Competence Center.
Record Order for Our Anniversary
Just in time for our 30th anniversary, HAGE receives the largest order in its history: four large-scale HAGEmatic systems for the international rail industry are commissioned in Obdach.
From Vision to Space
The first industrial 3D printers are developed. At the same time, HAGE enters the aerospace industry, manufacturing systems used in the production of tanks for Ariane rockets.
Expansion and Tech Campus
Peter Freigassner-Sanchez joins the management team. Plant 2 and a new technology center featuring one of Europe’s most powerful FSW systems begin operations.
Training at a High Level
A state-of-the-art apprenticeship workshop is established to pass our expertise on to the next generation of highly skilled technicians.
Focus on Core Expertise
HAGE3D is transferred to BigRep. HAGE focuses entirely on its core strength: high-end special-purpose machinery.
Maximum Safety and Continuous Monitoring
With HAGE HAWKeye, HAGE sets new benchmarks for production safety: direct, reliable and intelligent monitoring that protects people, secures production processes and raises both new and existing systems to a higher safety level.
