Mit derzeit 20 Mitarbeitern und einem großen Team an Partnern und Spezialisten gehören wir heute zu den führenden Anbietern am Markt. Flexibel, qualitativ, hocheffizient, benutzerfreundlich!

new HESTA kann auf eine lange Tradition zurückblicken, da das Unternehmen bereits 1948 als “Hermann Staehle Apparatebau – HESTA” in Stuttgart gegründet wurde und seit jeher kontinuierlich an neuen Innovationen gearbeitet hat. Wir sind stolz darauf, seit Beginn des Blasformens als eines von wenigen Unternehmen am Markt agiert zu haben. Somit haben wir einen großen Teil dazu beigetragen, dass Blasformen heutzutage so weit verbreitet und technisch auf einem hohen Level ist. Heute produzieren wir erfolgreich am Standort im schönen Schwäbisch Gmünd. Deutsche Qualität und deutsche Ingenieurskunst.

"Unattended 24/7 blow moulding production for our customers"

This is our guiding star, which we are approaching at high speed and in many innovative steps. From numerous discussions with our customers and experts in blow moulding technology, we have derived our vision for the future.

Customers benefit in several ways:

  • Plastics processing runs continuously; heating and cleaning processes are limited
  • The output volume is increased enormously, which significantly reduces costs
  • By substantially increasing machine uptime, investments to expand capacity can be avoided.

The focus of our innovations is an integrated production system consisting of the elements reliable machine technology + automation + digitalisation.

When designing and developing this integrated new HESTA production system, it is crucial for our customers that they can continue to rely as usual on the proven new HESTA unique selling points: efficiency (highest OEE, material and energy efficiency, highest output volume, process stability, and much more), flexibility (rapid changeover thanks to new HESTA quick-change systems, Flexline, and much more), and the unique compactness. In this way, we provide our customers with essential competitive advantages to meet the constant demands of the market.

Today's challenges faced by our customers regarding the unavailability of qualified specialists and operating personnel for shifts reinforce the need to arrive at suitable solutions and support measures very promptly. This is also a central consideration in the design of our system solution – assistance systems and digital tools will be the key support systems here.

Unsere Vision

new HESTA ist Ihr Live Cycle Experte für wettbewerbsfähige Extrusionsblasformtechnik. Wir verkaufen keine Maschinen sondern Lösungen für die gesamte Lebensdauer Ihrer EBM Produktion: Wir begleiten und unterstützen Sie von der ersten Maschine, über die Instandhaltung, regelmäßigen Service, Ersatzteilbeschaffung bis zum Retrofit. Wartungspläne, gezielte Ersatzteilbevorratung und Predictive Maintainance sorgen dafür, dass Ihr Maschinenpark produzieren kann, indem wir einschreiten, bevor ein Ausfall entsteht. Höchste OEE ist unser Anpsruch!

Gerald Girrbach Owner/CEO / Kunststoff-Packungen AG Wir haben in den letzten Jahren unseren Maschinenpark um weitere 10 vollelektrische HESTA-Maschinen erweitert. Die nächsten Jahre kommen weitere hinzu, da wir weitere Ersatz- bzw. Neuinvestitionen tätigen müssen. HESTA ist uns schon seit Jahren durch kurze Reaktionszeiten bei der Inbetriebnahme und hervorragend Servicequalität bekannt. Unsere Mitarbeiter kommen mit den Maschinen, dank der einfachen Bedienerfreundlichkeit, sehr gut zurecht. Christian Müller Head of Blow Molding Department Kläger Plastik GmbH Hesta's automatic blow molding machines have impressed us for years with their compact and space-saving design, as well as their user-friendly control system. The longstanding, excellent, and reliable cooperation with new Hesta has been supported from the beginning by the great, consistently solution-oriented communication with the contact persons and an outstanding service team. With such a partner by your side, you feel well-equipped for future challenges at all times.

In the last two years, we have expanded our machine park by a further 6 HESTA machines. By the end of 2022, 3 more machines will be added. This trend will continue in the coming years, as we will have to make replacement or new investments in the future. HESTA has been known to us for years due to its short response times during commissioning and excellent service quality. Our employees get along very well with the machines, thanks to the simple and very good user-friendliness.
