On expansion path in international business

The exhaust after treatment business, especially the reduction of particulate matter, is a worldwide focussed issue. HUSS is known in that business as a specialist in Europe and in international markets. Besides the core business in Germany, Austria and Switzerland projects in the USA, Canada and South-America were realized. The know-how of the employees and the established HUSS brand make the company interesting for different branches and deciders. Well known companies such as Jungheinrich, Mitsubishi, Bucher-Schörling, Hako, Multicar, Manitou or Caterpillar rely on the products of HUSS.

Since 1920 dedicated to pollution control

The history of HUSS starts in the year 1920 with the foundation of the HUSS Maschinenfabrik in Bremen, Germany. The ship building industry was booming and the purpose of the company was the manufacturing of silencers for ships. By building spark arresters and exhaust washers, the environmental and health spirit was already implemented after a short period of time.

Exhaust aftertreatment devices since the 1980s

In the 1980s the experience from the ship building sector was transferred to the fork lift truck industry. In these years the first health and safety regulations were set in place and created the necessity for exhaust after treatment devices on diesel engines. HUSS meets this challenge by designing a diesel particulate filter with electrical regeneration for fork lift trucks.

Since 1985 diesel particulate filters with the HUSS brand, were successful installed in Germany and in other foreign countries. Products from these early days are still in use and state impressively the reliability of the products of HUSS.

Today up to 500 kW (about 700 hp)

The development went on steadily. Filters in different sizes were developed, today up to 500 kW (about 700 hp) engine performance. The regeneration methods were innovated, too. Beside the electrical regeneration the HUSS is today known for its regeneration by diesel burner technology. This technology meets especially the requirements of diesel driven construction equipment. As an innovative company this was also not the end of the road. Today a system with engine external diesel injection for regenerating the filter during driving mode is available.

Since 2001 on its own

In the year 2001 the exhaust after treatment has become so important that the sector was hived off into a separate corporation. The decades of experience in the silencer and diesel particle filter business found a new home in the HUSS Umwelttechnik. The premises for growth and success were given. Although the relationship to the former mother company is friendly a removal to Nuremberg, Bavaria was reasonable. Today the home of the company is in the north of Nuremberg close to the airport and the highway.
