About KARL HUGO
KARL HUGO is a Belgian mechanical engineering company and system integrator in the metal sector. The company designs and manufactures custom industrial machinery, production lines, custom Coil Coaters (coil coating lines), pressure and vacuum vessels, as well as parts and assemblies. The value chain covers engineering including cost engineering and revamping, machining, welding/steel construction, finishing, and assembly and commissioning on the customer's site through to turnkey installation. All competencies and machine centres are concentrated at a single location. Pressure and vacuum vessels are manufactured with verified leak tightness; pressure vessels are certified under the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED Module H/H1) and AD 2000-Merkblatt HP 0. Customer industries include the steel industry and mechanical engineering (galvanising, coil coating), chemicals, energy (nuclear, electricity, oil and gas), healthcare (pharma, biomedicine, sterilisation), glass, transport (aerospace, automotive), industrial production and mineral extraction. Reference projects include a 120-tonne special construction for the Vianden pumped-storage power station of Société Électrique. Deliveries are made throughout Europe and worldwide.
