About hawos
hawos Kornmühlen GmbH, based in Bad Homburg v.d.H., manufactures grain mills for household use (hawos Easy, Novum, Billy, Queen, Mühle, Oktagon), hand mills (Molere, Rotare, Routine), flakers as well as commercial mills (hawos Pegasus). The product range is complemented by grain storage containers, glass tube silos (Glassilo) for zero-waste shops, sprouting devices made from untreated clay and baking accessories such as proofing baskets made from wicker cane. The mill housings are made of steamed solid beech or beech multiplex from PEFC-certified forests and are treated with linseed oil varnish; the stone grinding mechanism consists of corundum in ceramic, and the in-house developed motors have a high copper content and overload switches. Production takes place partly in an integrative workshop (sheltered workshop), from wood processing through assembly of the individual parts to packaging. Development, quality control, sales and service are located at the parent company in Bad Homburg. Value-added services include maintenance, spare parts and repairs, including for third-party products.
