Our history - we have been protecting buildings since 1926

Since 1926, hahne has stood for one thing: the protection of values. What began with floor polish and shoe polish has developed into a specialist for sustainable building protection. Our mission has been clear from the very beginning: to preserve what is important.

From the beginnings until today

Heinrich Hahne laid the foundation stone in Datteln in 1926, initially with shoe polish and floor polish. Over the next 90 years, his idea of protection expanded rapidly: In the 1940s, hahne focused on corrosion protection for mines, steelworks and shipping. Bitumen thick coatings followed in the 1970s, and in the 1980s we expanded our range to include masonry restoration, basement waterproofing and industrial floors.

In 1998, we joined the Sievert Building Materials Group, a family of companies with 60 locations and 1,700 employees in Europe, Germany and China. Today, we are an innovative partner for professionals in building protection with a wide range of solutions for interior and exterior areas, new construction and renovation as well as private and commercial areas.
