Successful brands need innovation.

The result is a fresh and modern logo, which keeps on representing our company philosophy.

The name HERZOG is a well established brand and speaks for itself
“Since 1861” – a family company for more than 150 years and
a guarantee for tradition and reliability.
The symbol of the horngear stands for technology and is at the same
time a crucial component of every braiding machine
® Registered trademark – for decades

Sustainability

February 2020

Sustainability topics are being discussed worldwide. For us at Herzog it has been a matter of course for a long time.

The great challenges of our time can only be resolved with cutting-edge technology and innovation.
We want to achieve more with less resources. That can be achieved through more efficiency.

What we do:

For nearly 10 years we have been obtaining eco-friendly energy by installing solar panels on our roof.
Installation of energy-saving LED lights in our factory.
All braiding-machine motors are energy-efficient.

This quality Medical show draws customers from around the world as a premier event for the medical market and continues to expand each year with this growing area of textiles.

Another expanding market is Technical Textiles. As consumers we see all aspects of this in our daily lives. This has impacted the Textile Industry with new innovations presenting themselves. We recently exhibited at the Techtextil NA in Raleigh, NC where new ideas and potential products were abundant.

The Wire and Cable business is another area of expansion. At the Electrical Wire Processing and Technology Expo in Milwaukee, WI in May of this year we will once again show how HERZOG can offer a fast, reliable and proven solution to the Wire Harness segment of the market.

Ropemaker students of the Textilschule Münchberg visited HERZOG

May 2014

On the last day of our excursion we had been invited by HERZOG in Oldenburg. First of all they showed us a presentation, explaining that they make more than 500 different types of machine which are used in different industrial areas as well as for medical applications. After that we did a tour through the factory. We could see the different steps of machine production in detail. Furthermore we saw the assembly of the carriers and the plastic moulding of the bobbins. Very interesting was the production of components like e.g. gears.
