History

With his visions in mind, Fritz Hakemann tried to improve the products of his parents' business by combining wood and stainless steel – still during his father's lifetime and in addition to practising his learned profession - in order to make them more durable and thus, reach a larger clientele. At a very early stage, Fritz Hakemann recognized the opportunity to qualitatively improve the bar tops and refrigerated cabinets and to produce them at a lower cost and by industrial production processes – which until then, were fabricated by a large number of companies using conventional manufacturing methods.

He succeeded in increasing demand and thus further expanding the focus on stainless steel. The first addition to the existing joinery, which was completed in 1960, was followed by further expansions of the production areas thanks to increased industrial production. Today's HAGOLA Gastronomie-Technik GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1979, initially as a limited liability company.

Nowadays, the entire production area covers approx. 30,000 m² and is still based at the location in Goldenstedt. With the machine and tool park installed there, almost all operations in the processing of stainless steel - such as cutting, deep drawing, bending, stamping, laser cutting, welding, foaming, deburring, grinding and polishing - can be carried out. The result is a wide range of high-quality products that enjoy an excellent reputation on the market.

Wide-ranged accessories in all areas, individual equipment and design options as well as numerous patents and utility models are examples of the permanent new and further developments of HAGOLA products.

The quality and durability of the products have earned HAGOLA the reputation of the innovative market leader - extensive after-sales service offerings, such as the nationwide tour service and service network including the 24-hour service hotline underline its position as a pioneer and reliable partner.
