How do you transform a workshop that has been producing custom stainless steel kitchens and industrial components for thirty years? For Scop Escriba in Hagetmau, France, the process started with a clear assessment of their needs. “We took part in a ‘factory of the future’ diagnostic, which showed us where our workflow could improve,” says Jean-Yves Dupont, Managing Director and Head of Production. “It highlighted laser cutting and bending capabilities as areas where we could push further.”

We are proud to announce that our Bliss-Bret office in Dijon is now officially ISO 9001:2015 certified by Bureau Veritas Certification France.

This milestone crowns a 10-month journey focused on continuous improvement and confirms that our Quality Management System meets internationally recognised standards.

It is with deep respect and quiet sadness that HACO Group announces the passing of its founder, Rogier Havegeer, who died on 19 January 2026 at the age of 86.

Press brakes are not usually the first machines that come to mind when people talk about sustainability. Yet the shop floor is exactly where real environmental gains are made.

That is the promise behind today’s smart, energy-efficient press brakes.

What do you do when the latest generation of machinery hits the market and you get first access? For Govatech, based in Halsteren, the Netherlands, the answer was simple: seize the opportunity. Less than a month after the global launch, the company invested in the Haco OptiForm 30150 Plus, taking a bold step to boost speed, accuracy, and flexibility in their workshop.

How do you keep large-scale fabrication running smoothly in one of the most remote industrial regions in the world? The Pilbara, in Western Australia, is a vast and rugged area known for its iron ore mines, extreme conditions and long transport routes. For Bennco Engineering, operating at the heart of it all, reliability and self-sufficiency are key. Their workshop in Tom Price recently received a major upgrade: a new Haco Synchromaster 40250 CNC pressbrake, built to handle demanding bending work with precision and speed.
