Hetek

Competence for more than sixty years

For more than 60 years HETEK has offered to its customers reliable products and displayed great ingenuity in designing and manufacturing special bespoke hoisting equipment.

Already during the times of the former GDR, HETEK was a well-known manufacturer of hoisting gear and belonged to the TAKRAF trust. The requirement for car jacks of the GDR-market was completely covered. In addition to this HETEK also supplied large quantities of car jacks to both the VOLVO and PEUGEOT new car production plants.
