Um legado construído sobre inovação e espírito empreendedor

Em 1946, um jovem casal de empresários, Fernand e Alice Habegger, registrou sua empresa, a Habasit, em Basel, Suíça, dando início à nossa história. Eles perceberam a necessidade de correias transportadoras e de transmissão de potência sintéticas, de alta qualidade, que seriam mais fáceis e seguras de montar nas máquinas. Mais de setenta anos depois, ainda somos inspirados por sua originalidade e busca incessante pela perfeição.
Nossa incessante abordagem inovadora nos faz antecipar o amanhã com curiosidade e vontade de continuar entregando melhorias aos processos de nossos clientes. Hoje, os clientes da Habasit recebem produtos da mais alta qualidade e soluções abrangentes e personalizadas, possibilitadas por mais de 3.800 funcionários e parceiros de serviço e distribuição em mais de 70 países em todo o mundo.

Fase pioneira - inovação e desenvolvimento

No início havia a ideia do produto, proveniente do acaso, da intuição e da observação das deficiências das emendas das correias usadas naquela época. 
O desenvolvimento começou com PVC, ao qual a poliamida foi adicionada posteriormente. As dificuldades relacionadas a esses novos materiais sintéticos (migração de agentes amaciantes, delaminação, colagem, etc.) tiveram que ser superadas. O fechamento e cálculo de correias foram fatores importantes na venda deste novo componente de máquinas.
