About Hochdanner Sanitär- und Heizungs-GmbH
Hochdanner Sanitär- und Heizungs-GmbH from Bechhofen is a family-run craft business, founded in 1927 as a forge. Its range of services covers plumbing installation and bathroom renovation, heating installation including heat pumps, solar thermal and a mobile heating centre, drinking, rain and wastewater technology, ventilation with heat recovery as well as water treatment. This is complemented by an in-house coppersmithy for roofing and metal façades and a structural steel workshop for steel construction. In the workshop, steel and stainless steel sheets are sheared, folded, roll-bent and processed into standing seams; titanium-zinc and Prefa composite panels are also used in roofing and façade construction. Customers are private households, commercial businesses, public institutions as well as hotels and gastronomy in the Bechhofen, Herrieden and Feuchtwangen region. The company employed around 19 staff in 2009 and has been a GmbH since 1 July 2007.
