Company overview
Hanomag was a German manufacturer established in 1835, initially producing steam engines and farm machinery. By 1846, it began building railway locomotives for the Royal Hanoverian State Railways and quickly expanded its operations. In 1924, Hanomag introduced the first tractor, followed by automobiles in 1925. The company produced a range of vehicles including steam wagons, cars like the Hanomag 2/10 and Garant, and military vehicles during World War II, most notably the Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track. Production of farm tractors continued until 1971, with over 250,000 machines manufactured. In 1964, Hanomag merged with Henschel-Werke, and later in 1989, it became a subsidiary of Komatsu. Today, Hanomag’s Hanover facility produces wheel loaders and wheeled excavators, serving customers across Europe and beyond.
