Simply timeless
Our company
yesterday, today
and tomorrow
Haberkorn’s success story is a long one, but simple to relate.
Our roots stretch back to the beginning of the last century.
By 1932, the Haberkorn family had already laid the foundations for a dynamic family business whose exceptional dedication and commitment across the decades enabled it to become Austria’s biggest technical retailer.
Today, we serve customers from the sectors industry, construction and trade professionals in Austria, Switzerland and the CEE states with a workforce of almost 1,000 employees. Haberkorn is a socially responsible employer and a valued business partner to over 25,000 customers. With the acquisition of the Glogar Group, Haberkorn is continuing its growth path and its internationalisation strategy.
