About us
Ferd. Haecker GmbH & Co. KG (Haecker Metall) has been a full-range distributor of non-ferrous metal semi-finished products based in Pforzheim since 1885. The company trades in strips, sheets, bars, wires, tubes, profiles, EDM wires and raw metals made of copper, brass, bronze, nickel silver, aluminium and nickel. In its own cutting center, slit strips from 3 to 300 mm width are produced on three strip slitting lines; sheet blanks from 0.10 to 6.00 mm thickness are made on guillotine shears, and the KASTOwin band saw delivers sawn blanks of bars and profiles from 10 mm length up to 460 mm cross-section. Further services include film lamination, testing technology with inspection certificates, as well as recycling and take-back of non-ferrous metal scrap. With more than 60 employees, its own warehousing, its own vehicle fleet and just-in-time logistics, Haecker Metall supplies the metal processing industry, having originally emerged from the Pforzheim jewellery and watchmaking industry. In 2024, construction began on a new 2550 m² cutting center.
