126 Years - Powered by Motivation and Still Going Strong - HANNING & KAHL Celebrates a Landmark Jubilee.

Dear Readers,

2024 is now in full swing, and as always, time flies.

This year, HANNING & KAHL is celebrating its 125+1 birthday. Why +1? Because of the challenges we faced last year, we decided not to celebrate this landmark jubilee in 2023 but concentrate instead on our work and the satisfaction of our customers. This year, however, we plan to take the time to celebrate with our shareholders, our colleagues, and their families. We would like to express our gratitude for their loyalty and commitment to HANNING & KAHL. 126 years of success would not have been possible without such a marvellous team.

We would also like to say a heartfelt thank-you to you, our esteemed customers! Thank you very much for our long working relationship and continuing to place your trust in us. We look forward to celebrating our shared history at the InnoTrans in September.

In 2023, to intensify our customer contacts, our Infrastructure Division hosted the HANNING & KAHL Services Day in Magdeburg with interesting talks and a tour of Südost tram depot. This year, the Rolling Stock Division is planning a Users’ Day in Chemnitz. The show highlight for HANNING & KAHL and our customers will most certainly be the InnoTrans in September. We look forward to welcoming you there!
