Our story

Your success story is ours, too

Success doesn't come easy. It's the result of good, honest hard work – combined with a clear vision, combined expertise and a team that wants to make things happen. We’re pretty proud of the milestones we’ve achieved already:

  • Herford

    1967

    Foundation

    Günter Schmitt founds HTT together with two other partners and soon assembles a team of highly-motivated engineers around him. This marks the beginning of an incredible success story shaped by constant growth from day one. HTT starts out manufacturing the first heater it developed itself.

  • Herford

    1968

    First heat carrier pump

    HTT develops the first pump designed especially for heat carrier technology with an extended shaft and cooling section.

  • Herford

    1969

    Fundamental research

    Based on an extensive series of tests, HTT builds further components and systems that ensure increasing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

  • Iraq

    1970

    On a mission abroad

    When it comes to quality, word gets around: The first orders from other countries soon come streaming in. In every case, the HTT team handles the transport and installation of components itself, like with this delivery to Iraq.

  • Herford

    1973

    Expansion of production

    Impressive system technology and major sales activities, including at the Hanover Messe trade fair, sees order numbers skyrocket. We outgrow our former production site at our Herford HQ in the 1970s and need to expand it.

  • Herford + Berlin

    1980s - 2015

    Contribution to the standard committee

    As a member of the committee assembled by the DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. to work on DIN 4754, company founder Günter Schmitt makes a major contribution to designing the fundamental requirements for thermal oil systems.

  • Herford + Spreewald

    2005

    Massive expansion

    The new millennium sees capacity gradually expand to meet demand: HTT sets up a research and development facility, builds a new administration building, expands production in Herford and opens a second location in Märkische Heide, Brandenburg.

  • Berlin

    2017

    Restructuring

    As part of the takeover by DIK Deutsche Industriekapital GmbH , its managing partner Erik Theilig assumes leadership of HTT. The investment and restructuring expert draws on his management experience from over 50 corporate transactions to align HTT’s strategy and operations with the challenges of the future.

  • Herford

    2024

    New brand identity

    Climate change and the energy crisis: HTT energy GmbH takes its responsibility as a pioneer of technology seriously and offers sound solutions for sustainability and investment security with its electrical heaters and components for energy recovery. A new claim and updated web presence proactively tackles the questions of our time.
