From a German Small Town Into the World.

On 1 April 1987, Frank Hansmann officially founded the company Hansmann electronic GmbH at age 33 as what would today be considered a genuine start-up.

New employees added to the team and helped the young company grow to a successful business over the years. Hansmann electronic achieved its global breakthrough with international clients in 1993 thanks to a globally growing market for electronic ballasts at the time.

One key event and cornerstone in the history of the company-to-be was a beginning freelance cooperation with the Osram Group in 1982, which led to an ongoing close cooperation between both companies decades to come.

Before entering the global market, though, one of Hansmann’s inventions helped turn the bottle industry upside down by speeding up the process of the so-called „bottle inspection“ of all kinds of empties. A huge success for the young business. 

In 2001, Hansmann electronic GmbH moved to new and now current business premises within the town of Barsinghausen, Lower Saxony, in Northern Germany.

The engineer, entrepreneur and creative mind kept developing projects and ideas stirring up the world of electronic ballasts.
Over time, Hansmann electronic GmbH has become an established name in the European, American and Asian market and is appreciated as a reliable business partner across the world. 

For any upcoming projects the engineer made sure to keep the focus not only on economical interests: the added value and meaningfulness have always been of relevance, too. 

The company's portfolio comprises projects for elimination of germ contamination through Ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation, developing ballasts for the medical sector (e.g. in surgery), the marine sector (equipping of marine searchlights), equipping of crash-test facility lighting, equipping of television studio and film lighting around the world, as well as works in the name of science (e.g. working on a submarine boat lighting system for the Rebikoff-Niggeler Foundation, Azores). 

For over three decades, Frank Hansmann passionately and successfully led the company together with his team of employees until his early decease in 2021. 

Hansmann electronic GmbH & Co. KG is now continued by talented and ambitious successor, CEO Leon M. Fauth, together with a committed team, new ideas and true to the ideals of the company's founder.
