The quality and continuous development of products were important concerns for Karl Hauger. When he heard about the extreme stability of a new type of cement from Italy in 1963, he spontaneously got into his car to set off from Rastatt to Livorno to bring home a sample.Due to the very bad roads at the time, the car did not survive the journey. Karl Hauger would not be dissuaded from that, so he bought a used Moto Guzzi Cardellino in Italy for 320 DM. Loading it with 25 kilograms of cement, he started the three-day return journey over the Gotthard Pass to Rastatt.Trials with the new cement confirmed its revolutionary properties. From this, HAURATON developed drainage channels made of particularly stable concrete which could be exposed to extreme loads in civil engineering.A lot has happened since Karl Hauger’s adventurous journey over the Gotthard Pass for cement. Our range of drainage channels has long since ceased to consist of only concrete. In 1995, we added light and robust RECYFIX channels with channel bodies made from 93% recycled composite to our product portfolio. We can also offer customers customised solutions made from stainless steel and other materials upon request.HAURATON have competent drainage experts that are available worldwide to support you on your construction project.Our dedicated project managers are with you every step of the way to ensure the project is a success.
