About Hugo Frauenhof GmbH
Hugo Frauenhof GmbH is a family-run technical wholesale business for industrial supplies and environmental technology based in Hilden. The core of its services are sewer cleaning, hose and ultra-high-pressure technology as well as sewer rehabilitation, complemented by industrial and suction hoses, pneumatic conveying system accessories and personal protective equipment. In its own workshop, hoses are assembled, fittings are inserted and re-crimped, and nozzles are fitted to match vehicle and pump — also on site. Three ultra-high-pressure test benches test and certify HP lines up to 6,000 bar; rubber hose lines are tested in accordance with T002 of BG RCI. Over 2,600 m² of warehouse space enable deliveries in under 24 hours; customers are served in Germany, Europe and countries in Asia, North and South America. The energy supply is almost fully self-sufficient via photovoltaics; since November 2023 the company has been Ökoprofit-certified.
