Welcome to Hansen Industrial Gearboxes
Hansen Transmissions traces back to the formation of "La-Mécanique Générale" in 1923, a small workshop in downtown Antwerp producing spare parts for gear units. Gradually, the company's activities shifted towards the production of customised gear units - mainly under the influence of young engineer David Hansen. In 1939, the company relocated to its present location in Edegem, offering a range of possibilities for future expansion.
The breakthrough came in 1950, when David Hansen invented and later brought to perfection his unique concept for standardisation of gear units. He patented it worldwide under the name "Hansen Patent". For research and marketing of this concept, the "MGH" (Machinery & Gear Hansen) subsidiary was set up.
Until then no more than a manufacturer of gear units, the company was soon recognised as a world leader and trend-setter in industrial power transmission technology. In 1966, La-Mécanique Générale and MGH merged and in 1972, the company name was changed to reflect its international renown and continuing expansion, becoming "Hansen Transmissions International (HTI)"
