Our business is cleanliness in your business - for every industry. It has been for over 100 years. We are named after our founder August Heute - and this name means "Today" in German. That's why it's our job to build products that you can use today, every day and tomorrow. In doing so, we develop to meet the needs of our customers.

Sometimes the result is a seamless further development. Other times we get the brilliant idea for a new, parallel series. In rare cases, our questioning of a given status also means that we open up completely new areas of business - or let go of old ones.

In the 1950s, for example, the company heir August Heute Jr. had to discontinue the manufacture of shoemaking machines. This was done in favour of the shoe shine machine - a type of appliance that we still manufacture today. This proved to be a long-term success: our machines can be found in lobbies all over the world.

In 2008, the time had come again and HEUTE was able to open up a new market: Our ProfilGate tyre cleaning system for industry was invented. We have continued to develop it further: we currently have X variants. ProfilGate changed the way industry cleans its tyres. If it has contact with the ground and needs to be cleaned, then it needs ProfilGate.

It is obvious that we are doing something right with our product ranges: as an owner-managed family business with fewer than 50 employees at a single location in Solingen, we are the market leader. We supply the entire globe and have a broad network of dealers and customers who are happy to realise further projects with us. We are very proud of this at HEUTE.
