HUBER & RANNER took a major step towards automation and manufacturing precision by commissioning its first Salvagnini flexible sheet metal production line. This state-of-the-art technology transformed its sheet metal processing capabilities, positioning the company among the most modern production facilities in Germany and Europe. It allowed for greater customization, faster production times, and enhanced product quality—key elements that still define HUBER & RANNER’s competitive edge today.

After many years of service to the company, the first generation of family leadership, Mr. Erich Huber and Mr. Siegfried Ranner, passed the responsibilities of global company leadership onto their sons, Mr. Dietmar Huber and Mr. Udo Ranner, heralding a transition to the second generation of family leadership and a new era of development under their new guidance.

Building on decades of expertise, HUBER & RANNER introduced the X-CASE series of AHU, its next-generation flagship line of AHU’s. The X-CASE series was designed with advanced thermal insulation, superior airflow management, and modular flexibility, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications. Its introduction set a new standard in energy efficiency and reliability for the HVAC industry and built a solid platform for continuing growth as an industry leader.

HUBER & RANNER launched the advanced GREEN KV-System, a high-efficiency run-around coil energy recovery system. This innovative solution was engineered to significantly reduce energy consumption by capturing and reusing waste heat from exhaust air streams, enhancing both environmental sustainability and cost efficiency of modern facilities. It has quickly become a preferred choice for clients seeking sustainable HVAC solutions, and HUBER & RANNER has continued to develop the technology to remain one of the industry leaders in run-around coil technology.

A new, expanded production base was established in Pocking, Germany. The facility was equipped from the outset with cutting-edge manufacturing technology and automation, further boosting the company’s production capacity, quality control and operational efficiency.

For the first time in its history, HUBER & RANNER established a manufacturing presence outside of Germany, setting up a company in China to manufacture its products to supply to the Asia Pacific market. The facility is based in Taicang, Jiangsu Province, a short distance from the commercial hub of Shanghai. With this investment in the region, the business of HUBER & RANNER quickly grew through the ability to respond better to customer needs and provide fully localised service.

HUBER & RANNER unveiled the Y-CASE series of air handling units, specifically engineered to excel in tropical and humid climates with superior thermal insulation properties. Featuring advanced thermal insulation and superior anti-condensation properties, the Y-CASE series has quickly become a market leader globally. Its design emphasizes both energy efficiency and durability, aligning with global sustainability standards. Stepless design principles inside the unit ensure it is easy to clean the unit and maintain a hygienic air handling system.

After careful research & development, HUBER & RANNER launched its unique AIR-BALANCE solution for AHU controls to the market, setting a new benchmark for simplifying the installation and commissioning of control systems for custom AHU’s. The solution features unique plug & play connectors and supports factory installation of all critical components, allowing for simple on-site commissioning and fully remote support, allowing our AHU’s to be installed, commissioned and brought online faster than ever before.

A second manufacturing facility was established in Asia in the city of Xintai in China, further solidifying HUBER & RANNER’s production capacity and logistical efficiency in the Asia-Pacific region. Equipped with the latest automation and smart manufacturing technologies, the new site supports the company's ambitious growth targets. It also symbolizes HUBER & RANNER’s commitment to sustainable and scalable manufacturing.

HUBER & RANNER introduced its first-ever residential HVAC sub-brand, H&R Home, along with its flagship product, the Alpen Luft system. Designed to bring industrial-grade air quality solutions to residential spaces, the Alpen Luft system features advanced air purification and climate control technologies, integrating the company’s new active chilled beam technology, thereby realising completely silent operation. The launch establishes HUBER & RANNER's entry into the residential HVAC market, while maintaining its reputation for quality and innovation.

In a further commitment to the Asia Pacific region, HUBER & RANNER invested in establishing an R&D Innovation Centre in Taicang, China. As wellas showcasing the company’s air treatment technology solutions to visitors, the site establishes critical testing environments for the company to locally and in-house test the performance of its new products, to ensure they meet our strict requirements for quality and performance.

HUBER & RANNER became the first manufacturer in China to achieve the new Eurovent hygienic AHU (HAHU) certification, and achieved the highest possible 3-star rating, suitable for adoption in pharmaceutical facilities, laboratories, cleanrooms, hospital operating theatres and other similar environments with extremely strict demands for environmental hygiene.

Marking a historical point in the company’s journey, we celebrated our 50th year in style, with big parties in our global HQ in Pocking, Germany, as well as in our Asia Pacific headquarters in Taicang, China. As well as looking back at the 50 years that has been, the year was full of discussions about what we need to do to continue to maintain our leadership position in the industry for the coming 50 years, and beyond!

As HUBER & RANNER’s presence continues to grow in the Asia Pacific region, further investment has been made to expand production capacity on our existing Taicang site. This Phase II expansion will double the output capacity of the site, ensuring we can continue to meet the current and future demands of the market well into the future, and unleashing opportunities for further expansion of our products & services to regional customers.
