A large number of technologies, first developed by H+S, have made significant impacts in today's market for window patching machines.

Later, in 1998, H+S launched the world's first window patching machine with automatic setting.

After window patching, tray forming is the company´s second major. Since introduction, in 1993, of a new concept for the production of conical trays, H+S has gone on to become a market leader in this field as well. In addition to these products, H+S offers tailor-made solutions for processing of carton and film.
