HARTING

HARTING is a German technology group that makes industrial connectors, network products and cables. It supplies customers in many industries, including railways, factory automation and electric vehicles. The group is 100 percent owned by the Harting family.

The group employs more than 7,000 people and has sales of 1.1 billion euros. It runs 13 production sites and 42 sales sites around the world. In 2026 its North American company marked 40 years in the USA. The group also opened expanded production halls at its site in Biel, Switzerland.

The Han range is its best-known line of industrial connectors. These connectors are quick and easy to handle, tough, flexible in use and long lasting, and many can be fitted without tools. HARTING also makes circular connectors in all common sizes and codings. It describes itself as one of the biggest makers of industrial connection technology. A further range covers device connectivity, with small, fast and modular connection parts.

In networking, the Ha-VIS eCon series offers unmanaged Industrial Ethernet switches with RJ45 and fibre ports. The company also sells system cables and raw cables for industrial use. It has built a name as a specialist in connection technology for electric mobility. The ODVA has now named the compact ix Industrial connector face as an official interface for EtherNet/IP networks.

HARTING has also joined the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem. It offers connection solutions for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 platform, which supports 800 volt DC designs for AI data centres. The group links its work to what it calls the All Electric Society, which brings together electrification, digitalisation and automation.

The group takes part in trade fairs such as electronica in Munich and SPS in Nuremberg in November 2026. It also held a web seminar that reviewed the InnoTrans railway show. In October 2026 it announced a change to its automotive division, which ends its solenoid business. In the same month it celebrated 29 young professionals finishing their training.
