Company portrait
Our mission is as simple as it is ambitious: We want to drive our customers' success. To this end, since as far back as 1973 we have been developing, engineering and manufacturing high-quality hydraulic cylinders that are now in demand all over the world. Our constant striving for perfection over the entire process chain has also made it possible for us to supply products that are always perfectly tailored to our customers' stringent requirements – whether they come from the tool making, mould and die making, machine building industries, aluminum pressure die-casting, deburring tool construction, hydroforming, punching tool construction or other sectors.
Many of our custom-developed cylinders are now regarded as industry standards – standards resulting from a modularly structured product mix policy that signifies cost-effective customization with a simultaneously high level of efficiency and quick availability to our customers. An outstanding achievement that would be unthinkable without the more than 260 employees at our headquarters in Gottenheim, Germany, and without those working in our sales subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Suzhou (China), as well as in Guissano (Italy) and Marhina Grande (Portugal). But also an achievement that has allowed us to establish an international presence in Europe, North America and Asia.
What is the basis of our success? As a family-run company, we foster and believe in values. And we live these values. AHP DNA is special and unique. In addition to continuity, integrity and sustainability, the values we promote also include reliability, honesty and openness. Although we also operate economically and must be successful, we nevertheless foster a philosophy that is guided not by quarters but instead by generations: Ideal values that are becoming even more essential, especially in a fast-moving world, and simultaneously serve as a foundation for the necessary quality – quality that with us knows no compromises.
