‘The future needs the past.’ Odo Marquard, German philosopher
A company history stretching back over 70 years – a reason to be proud, but also an incentive for the future. As in the past, our objective today is to be more than just a supplier.Through technology and innovation, but also quality and reliability, we want not only to boost customer value but also shape the future with technology for people and inspire those people, too. Thank you for your interest. We hope that this brochure gives you a clear idea of the company’s long history and development.

ON 1 SEPTEMBER 1945, WILHELM AND MARIE HARTING FOUNDED ‘Wilhelm Harting Mechanische Werkstätten’.They began producing everyday items of equipment in a small hangar measuring about 100 m² in a Minden workshop. They came through the foundation phase in the difficult post-war period with the help of ten employees. Employee and order numbers increased steadily over the following years, leading to the inevitable move to the former military hospital for horses at the Simeon Barracks in Minden in 1947. When the barracks had been converted, the fledgling company then also had a laboratory, test workshop and construction office.

ON TWO WHEELS Marie Harting didn’t just do the bookkeeping and correspondence – she also cycled around the countryside, carrying irons and stoves in her rucksack and luggage rack, swapping them for things like bread, pulses and lard.
*Also known as ‘watchdog’.
THE FIRST PRODUCTS were useful everyday items. Low-energy bulbs, highly coveted hotplates, pasture fence devices, waffle irons, electric firelighters and irons were produced. Orders grew in size and scope and the company grew steadily.

HISTORY OF ESPELKAMP Already documented as ‘Aspelekampe’ in the year 1229, Espel kamp remained a small and insignificant settle-ment for centuries.The decisive step towards the town we know today came with the construction of a munitions plant in 1938/39. 133 massive single-storey buildings, a 20 km network of streets, waterworks and much more went up on around 250 hectares of woodland.In June 1945, refugees and displaced persons were given makeshift accommodation in the barracks in the colony – the residential complex for the previous munitions plant. With support from the church, entire resi dential areas and social facilities such
as a primary school, hospital and orpha n-age grew up during this period. A few local industrial operations developed alongside making a major contribution to the town’s autonomy. This unique interaction made Espelkamp a symbol of successful integration.
HARTING also moved to the flourishing town of Espelkamp with 180 employees in 1950, and has had a major influence on its development ever since. Today, Espel kamp is a prosperous town with a population of some 24,000 people.

MUSIC IN THE AIR The 1950s – Germany is an economic miracle and people are in the mood for dancing. Amid all the enthusiasm for technology, Wilhelm Harting is asked to produce jukeboxes – and does so with great success. HARTING produces turntables and record players. One of the top products of the day was the 12-disc-changer – HARTING wowed its customers and the market with this. After years of successful production, the record player division was shut down in 1961. No jukeboxes were made after 1975 and the focus of the company was mainly on cigar ette vending machines and connectors.

To the disappointment of the male of the species, the first electric cigarette vending machine replaced the traditional ‘natural model’.
SELF-SERVICE CIGARETTES In 1959, HARTING was the first company to start production of electric cigarette vending machines. An ambitious plan was followed to develop various models. The first electronic outdoor vending machine called the ‘Semtron’ deserves a special mention – later devel-oped into the fully automatic ‘Variotec’ vending machine. The ‘Towerline’ indoor vending machine came along a few years later. ‘Smokythek’ – an electric cigarette storage system for the retail food sector – drew a lot of interest on the German and even the European markets. It can be found in checkout-zones in many retail chains to this day. HARTING has also been making complete check-out counters since 2013.

Antonio Viver - eine HARTING „Institution“
HARTING ist Klimaschützer - weltweit!
Dafür steht dieses Symbol
Umwelt- und Klima-schutz sind bei
HARTING Teil der ge-lebten Unterneh-menskultur.
Und das wird auch in der PEOPLE immer deutlicher. Mittlerweile erreichen uns viele Artikel von Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus der ganzen Welt, die sich mit spannenden Projekten rund um den Schutz unserer Umwelt be-schäftigen.
Damit man diese ab sofort auf den ersten Blick erkennt, haben
wir uns ein Symbol einfallen lassen, das alle Artikel markiert. So erkennen Sie
auf den ersten Blick, dass es sich
um ein „grünes“ Thema handelt. Wir wünschen viel
Spaß beim Lesen und freuen uns auf Ihre Artikel für die kommen-den Ausgaben.

Auszeichnung für vorbildliches EnergiemanagementInternationaler Energy Efficiency Award für HARTING
HARTING ist einer der bun-desweiten Vorreiter beim ef-
fizienten Einsatz von Energie. Als eines der ersten Unternehmen in Deutschland führte das Unterneh-men im Jahr 2001 ein Energiema-nagement ein.
Seitdem arbeiten wir konti-nuierlich und mit großem Erfolg an der Verbesse-rung aller energiever-brauchenden Anlagen. Für diese ganzheitliche Un-ternehmensstrategie zur syste-matischen Senkung des Energie-verbrauchs wurde uns jetzt eine außerordentliche Anerkennung zuteil: In Berlin erhielten wir von der Deutschen Energie-Agentur GmbH (dena) den 1. Preis des in-ternationalen Energy Efficiency Award 2012: „HARTING setzt seit vielen Jahren systematisch Akti-vitäten zur Energieeffizienz um und konnte damit deutliche Ener-gieeinsparungen erreichen“, lobte die Jury. Die Auszeichnung wurde
im Rahmen des dena-Energieeffizi-enzkongresses an unsere Kollegen Günter Behnke und Jochen Richter übergeben. Insgesamt beteiligten sich rund 70 Unternehmen aus Industrie und produzierendem Gewerbe an dem
Wettbewerb. Er wird seit 2007 jährlich vergeben.
Schirmherr der diesjährigen Ausschreibung war Bun-deswirtschaftsminister Dr.
Philipp Rösler. Durch eine Vielzahl von Maßnahmen konn-
ten die jährlichen Energiekosten von HARTING um rund ein Drittel reduziert werden. Der Energiever-brauch pro Jahr sank um 3,3 Milli-onen Kilowattstunden (29 Prozent) und der CO2-Ausstoß verminderte sich um 1.590 Tonnen (31 Prozent). Zu den besonderen energiespa-renden Projekten bei HARTING zählt die Runderneuerung der Wärmeversorgung in allen Espel-kamper Werken. Dort wurden mit Biomethan betriebene Blockheiz-kraftwerke zur Strom- und Wär-
meerzeugung in Betrieb genom-men. Weitere Maßnahmen sind die ta-geslichtabhängige Steuerung der Beleuchtung, der Bau neuer Trans-formatoren sowie die bedarfsorien-tierte Kälteversorgung. Im Januar dieses Jahres wurde das betrieb-liche Energiemanagementsystem
Günther Behnke (5. v. l.), „Hüter“ des Projekts, nahm für HARTING den Preis entgegen. Klar, dass er sich ganz besonders freute.
gemäß DIN EN ISO 50001 zertifi-ziert.„Wir möchten mit unserem Handeln auch weitere Unterneh-men dazu auffordern, sich mit Klimaschutz und Energieeffizienz auseinanderzusetzen. Unterneh-men können hier viel voneinander lernen“, betonte Dietmar Harting.

RUND UM DIE WELT Seite 13
„Wir wollen Werte für Menschen schaffen“
„Alles nur Kopfsache!“ war die Einstellung, über
die Robert Harting, Olympia-sieger, Weltmeister und Eu-ropameister im Diskuswer-fen, mit unseren Azubis und Kolleginnen und Kollegen im
September bei einem Besuch diskutierte.
Doch zunächst verblüffte der Spit-zensportler seine Gastgeber mit einer unerwarteten Erinnerung aus seiner Kindheit: „Mit elf Jah-
ren habe ich den Schriftzug des Unternehmens zum ersten Mal auf einem Automaten entdeckt, und dachte mir: Die will ich ein-mal kennenlernen“. Damit hatte der gelöst und entspannt wirkende Sportler vom ersten Moment an die
Sympathien ganz auf seiner Seite.Was Robert Harting bei seinem Besuch in Espelkamp erlebte, wen er traf und worüber geplaudert wurde, lesen Sie auf Seite 6. Dort erfahren Sie auch, warum Siegen zu 90 % Kopfsache ist.
Robert Harting, Olympiasieger im Diskuswerfen, liest unsere PEOPLE.
Harting das, liebe Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen, ist Robert Hartings kurze, klare Antwort auf die Frage: Wie ma-chen Sie das nur, im entscheidenden Moment alles richtig zu machen für einen Sieg?! Alles nur Kopfsache? Wer von uns noch die dra-matischen Tennismat-ches mit Boris Becker erlebt hat, weiß ja wohl, er hat recht! Gab sich Boris verloren, so en-dete das Spiel auch so. Viele Male aber war für uns Zuschauer deutlich sichtbar, wenn sich bei Boris – schon auf dem Weg zur Niederlage – die ganze Kraft im Kopf zu sammeln schien, und er dann unaufhaltsam, ruhig und gezielt den Gegner besiegte.
Wie gern machen wir doch unser Umfeld, das Wetter, die Kollegen, den Chef/die Chefin für unser momentanes „Un-vermögen“ verantwort-lich. Zig Gründe lassen sich anführen, die Nicht-erreichung unserer Ziele zu erklären. Ein Blick (ein offener) auf unsere Supersportler zeigt je-doch, die Ursache liegt immer in uns selbst – in jedem von uns.
Ein verregneter Sonntag ist für viele schon ein Graus. Sagt der Kopf: Hey, heute regnet’s, da mach‘ ich’s mir gemüt-
lich,“ in dem Moment wechselt die Stimmung von minus auf plus, und alles ist gut.
„Alles ist Kopfsache“ heißt nicht, ich muss einen bestimmten, hohen IQ haben, um be-sondere Leistungen im Leben zu erbringen. „Alles ist Kopfsache“ heißt, nur ich allein kann den Schalter in meinem Kopf so einstel-len, dass ich engagiert, motiviert und zielge-richtet an meine Aufga-ben gehe. Es heißt z. B. auch, Ärger nicht zulas-sen! Wenn ich merke, er droht mich wieder ein-mal zu ersticken: Schal-ter drehen auf „nicht zulassen“!Liebe Mitarbeiter, liebe Mitarbeiterinnen, es funktioniert. Ich hab’s probiert – es klappt noch nicht immer, aber immer öfter. Probieren Sie’s mal. „Alles ist Kopfsache“ ist für mich die beste Botschaft, die unser Namensvetter und Olympiasieger uns mit auf den Weg gibt – auf unseren Weg zu mehr Erfolg.
Uns allen wünsche ich ein friedvolles Jahresen-de und ein gesundes, se-gensreiches neues Jahr.

THE HARTING FAMILY has run the company with great attention to detail from the very beginning. Following the death of Wilhelm Harting in 1962, Marie Harting led the company with success and determination. Sons Dietmar and Jürgen Harting join their mother in 1967 and 1969. Jürgen Harting dies in a tragic accident in 1973 at the age of just 32. Margrit Harting joins her husband Dietmar Harting‘s family-owned and managed company in 1987, committing herself as a guiding force for the company. Philip F. W. Harting and Maresa W. M. Harting-Hertz are now the third generation at the helm. Philip F. W. Harting became Chairman of the Board of the HARTING Technology Group in October 2015.
All four now make all company decisions together. Margrit Harting: ‘The most important member of the family is the company – it is the diva. It is represented by the people at the top. Everyone has their own rights and obligations. We have a long-term strategy for the business. We think in terms of generations.’

THE SOCIAL COMMITMENT OF THE HARTING FAMILY began with the idea of creating jobs for refugees and displaced persons. Wilhelm and Marie Harting had already shown their commitment to employees and their general welfare. This is how the town got its first tennis club. The second generation also show a high level of commitment in their promotion of cultural, economic, sporting and educational projects and associations. This has also been recognised by various Chancellors and Federal Presidents down the years, who made various awards to Margrit and Dietmar Harting, including the Federal Cross of Merit, 1st Class in 2009.

A SUCCESS STORY Even back in the early days, Wilhelm Harting recognised the need for new technical products for the industry emerging in Germany. Working with a large number of experts and the right machines, the company pushed forward with the construction of a connector that had to be robust, light, user-friendly and multipurpose. And the Han® connector was soon launched to great success. The HARTING brand has become known for its amazing quality in over 70 countries. The range has expanded continuously since then – and upgraded to meet additional requirements. Han® connec-tors now have the same status in their world as Tempo paper tissues have in theirs.
THE CURRENT PRODUCT PORTFOLIO The wide range of connectors offers distinctively innovative and flexible modular hard- and software systems. This allows a versatile range of connection systems to be created.
‘WE DON’T WANT ANY PRODUCTS COMING BACK’ Wilhelm Harting’s words clearly express how much emphasis was placed on high quality back then – and is to this day.
Han-Modular® Modular connector transports power, signals, data and even compressed air – all in one unique connector.

Trainees have always had access to practice-oriented training at HARTING – with a major focus on working well together. This gives trainees an idea of what their fellow trainees are doing, and the whole company and its different departments. HARTING also provides further training, active involvement in trade fairs and full support from trainers, who guide the learning process in line with the individual situation and learning status.

‘INTERNET OF THINGS’ – WHAT’S THAT?
It isn’t just people who are becoming more connected, but the world around them, too. ‘Internet of Things’ means the evolution where the traditional (personal) computers are replaced by intelligent objects.
People will be supported by embedded wearables (miniaturised computers) in many situations without requiring their attention. Wearables are fitted with various types of sensors for communicating with other powerful computers. This interaction enables the optimum alignment of individual everyday processes with each other.
The ‘Internet of Things’ also has huge potential for logistics. Complete production processes can manage themselves, conveying requested goods to their destination. This has formed the basis for a new industrial movement.
WE WANT TO SHAPE PEOPLE’S FUTURE WITH TECHNOLOGY Our vision de -scri bes the development of the HARTING Technology Group into an ‘Inte grated Industry’ company. Focused on the needs of our cus -t omers, we are a consultant, service provider and a systems supplier.
HARTING AS A DYNAMO FOR INDUSTRIAL CHANGE Industry is on the up: the
‘Internet of Things’ is the driver behind Industrie 4.0 – the fourth industrial revolution – and is even influencing production today. New services, structures and products are coming out of this change. We are making the jour-ney alongside our customers.
HARTING INTEGRATED INDUSTRY 4 YOU With its own ‘HAII4YOU Factory’ smart factory, HARTING showcases ‘Integrated Industry’ solutions.
The ‘HAII4YOU Factory’ shows how indi vidual customer requirements can be met quickly and flexibly. It illustrates how business pro- cesses – from ordering to produc-tion and delivery – can change in future. The facility illustrates HARTING Technology Group
‘Industrie 4.0’ expertise at all levels. ‘HARTING IIC MICA’ is another key element of the HARTING commit-ment to ‘Integrated Industry’. The ‘IIC MICA’ abbreviation for the industrial computer stands for ‘Integrated Industry Computer Modular Industry Computing Ar chi tecture’, comprising a modu -lar open hardware and software plat form. Quick and easy to use,
‘IIC MICA’ was designed from scratch to adapt to multiple industrial applications, giving customers a smooth entry into
‘Industrie 4.0’.
