 Successful start of the new trade fair MedtecLIVE with T4M:

With the merger of the two trade fairs MedtecLIVE and T4M, a new trade fair format was able to connect the important medical regions in the heart of southern Germany. The special thing about this first MedtecLIVE with T4M was the international appeal: From May 3rd to 5th, 2022, more than 430 exhibitors from 23 European countries were represented.

After a two-year break due to the pandemic, MedtecLIVE with T4M was a successful start and made us want more - we are already excited about the AMB in September 2022 and are looking forward to the "analogue" contact and good conversations with colleagues and customers.

Many thanks to everyone who visited us during these 3 days here in Stuttgart.

 Our journey continues - fit for the future!:

Yesterday we received our next CNC grinding center from TTB Engineering SA. It will already make its contribution to the series production of our micro tools next week.

With the NEXT model, we are relying on stability, accuracy in the µm range and reliability that has been tried and tested for us for many years, with even greater efficiency, so that we can continue to provide our customers with the precision our tools are known for in the future.

We are particularly pleased, thanks to our long-standing partnership with TTB, to be able to use this new generation of devices as one of TTB's first customers. This means that we are also well prepared for your increasing demands in the future.

Solidarity and Support:

At Hobe we stand for tolerance and democracy.

The images that reach us from Ukraine shake us all to the core. Millions of innocent civilians are turned into refugees by the current events. In the heart of Europe an unbearable state.

Images of desperate women and children on the borders to the EU must shake up all Europeans and move them to action.
We have decided to help the children in the crisis area and support the work of UNICEF financially with a donation.

Protect the environment - think about the next generations:

Climate change affects us all and is one of the greatest challenges facing our society.

Climate protection and the associated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions are of great importance to Hobe; Photovoltaics and heat recovery have been used in our company for many years.

During the year 2021 we realized further energy and thus emissions savings. By converting our air filter technology to electrostatic air cleaning on our grinding machines and adapting our lighting in the production areas to LED technology, we will save more than 60t of CO₂ per year in the future and thus make our contribution to climate protection. At the beginning of 2022 we will successively convert our vehicle fleet to hybrid or, if appropriate, fully electric drives.

As a medium-sized company, we will continue to do everything in the future to reconcile ecological improvements and economic action.

“Finally a fair again!” 

With this conclusion, the Dreh- und Spantage (DST) ended very successfully on Friday, October 22nd, 2021. The industry get-together, which lasted 3 days, was able to attract almost 5,000 visitors in Villingen-Schwenningen.

It was a pleasure for us as exhibitor to welcome our guests personally at the stand again with this first analog trade fair appearance during the corona pandemic. This trade fair has shown very clearly: Nothing goes beyond personal contact with our customers! We were able to hold many interesting conversations and make exciting contacts and will be happy to be represented here in the future as well.

Many thanks to all who visited us during these 3 days here in Villingen-Schwenningen.

The HOBE borin® System, a simple explenation:

Our system has been developed for efficient turning of „micro-bores“. Remarkable are the small dimensions, precision and the coolant-channel through the holder and in the tool-bits.

The changing of the tool-bits is done by hand, without any further device. The precision of our system tools and the special pick-up system of our tool-holder has a repeatability of usually ± 5 μm.

We celebrate our 50th anniversary!

We turned 50 on July 1st.

Last Friday we were able to celebrate this event with our team on a small scale and with great fun.

At this point we would like to thank all our customers and suppliers for the long partnership and hope for many more years of cooperation.

50 years of Hobe GmbH

On July 1st 2021 we will be 50 years old. A lot has happened from the beginnings in Ravensburg to the current location in Baienfurt.

The courage of Mr. Max Hobe senior to take the step into self-employment and to found the Hobe GmbH is our admiration to this day. His children Max jun. and Dagmar, as well as her husband Ralf Lauterbach, managed the extremely successful continuation and expansion of the company, on whose solid foundation we were able to build on in 2016 after the takeover.

With the expansion of production capacities and increased digitalization of our processes, the establishment of our own direct sales with permanent field staff in Germany and the constantly growing partner network abroad, we have been able to spur our growth. The year 2020 brought an unforeseeable challenge for all of us with the pandemic, which we as a team were able to master most successfully.

For our anniversary year 2021, we see good opportunities again to start over and continue our growth path together.
Special thanks at this point to all employees of Hobe, without whose tireless commitment and team spirit we would never have been able to achieve what we have, especially in these difficult times.
Last but not least it is important for us to thank you, our customers, some of whom have remained loyal to us for many years. We will continue to work tirelessly on products of outstanding quality and support you through continuous innovation in optimizing your production processes.

We look forward to celebrating this anniversary properly later in the year, even if this may not be possible around the actual birthday in July.

On behalf of the entire management team

Dr. Jens-Jörg Eßer
Managing Director

In the manufacture of medical devices, implants or surgical instruments from difficult-to-chip materials such as e.g. stainless steel, titanium, chromium-cobalt or platinum-iridium our customers are facing big challenges.
To give you the best possible support is our passion. With the optimum combination of tool geometry and coating to solve the cutting tasks of our customers, Hobe GmbH can look back on many years of experience.

In our current flyer for medical technology and implantology we show you some solutions for a wide range of different tasks.

The Dreh- und Spantage (DST) 2019 ended successfully last Friday. With more than 160 exhibitors, this fair was once again a very attractive event for the Black Forest-Baar-Heuberg region.

There was great interest in our products and solutions, with new products in particular enjoying great popularity. We were able to hold many interesting discussions and make exciting contacts and will be happy to be here in the future as well.

After the quarrels of the years 2017 and 2019, it is very gratifying that the Südwest Messe- und Ausstellungsgesellschaft GmbH has managed to reunite the "Turning Days" and the DST at the Villingen-Schwenningen location for the following years.

Many thanks to all who visited us during these three days here in Villingen-Schwenningen.
