Hatecke Service technician during load testing

Company|Hatecke Service GmbH

Hatecke Service GmbH was founded in 2005 when it became clear that new maintenance and service requirements for lifesaving equipment would become mandatory. All after-sales and training activities were combined under one roof, independent of Hatecke GmbH.

On July 1, 2006, SOLAS III, 20.11 came into effect. This new regulation requires the periodic servicing of launching appliances and on-load release gear of lifeboats. The guidelines for this new regulation are laid down in Annex 1 to MSC.1/Circ.1206 dated May 26, 2006.

Hatecke complies with these regulations through its own HATECKE SERVICE company and a global network of service stations. Together we offer advice and support on an individual basis – flexible service and fast solutions.
To satisfy our customers’ needs and to improve our workplaces we expanded our office in August 2008. Hatecke Service has now its own office building with training centre. In 2009, we will get a new workshop and additional training installations.

We owe our position as one of the world’s leading experts not just to our technical know-how and stringent quality management.
