Five years of growth: Hannecard Roller Coatings is expanding its capabilities, reach and future impact
Over the past five years, Hannecard Roller Coatings (HRC), has undergone a period of significant growth and transformation. As part of the broader Hannecard Group presence in Ohio, HRC plays a specialized role in the company’s U.S. offering by focusing on advanced roller coatings, repair solutions and technical support for demanding industrial applications. Together with Hannecard’s wider roller and service capabilities, HRC strengthens the Group’s ability to deliver end-to-end roller performance solutions to customers across North America.
Looking back, several important milestones helped drive that growth and enabled HRC to double in size. Strategic investment in advanced thermal spray systems and robotic automation expanded both the company’s technical capabilities and its operational efficiency. These investments allowed HRC to enhance coating performance, improve consistency and increase production capacity, while maintaining the high standards customers expect from Hannecard.
A solutions-driven approach to customer support
HRC’s focus is working closely with customers to maximize efficiency, reduce downtime and improve overall product quality. That customer-first approach has helped the business build long-term partnerships and expand into markets where customers are looking for more than a vendor — they need a responsive technical partner who understands the demands of their process and can help solve performance challenges.
That mindset has helped HRC extend Hannecard’s reach into U.S. By combining specialized coating expertise with a strong service mentality, HRC supports customers with performance-driven roller solutions.
Where HRC stands today
Compared to five years ago, Hannecard Roller Coatings is operating at a very different scale. The company has significantly expanded its technical capabilities and today offers more advanced coating and repair solutions than ever before. Customer reach has grown substantially, with HRC serving a broader mix of industries and applications across the U.S.
The team has also grown with the business - adding skilled talent across production, operations and customer service. This growth has strengthened capacity while deepening the knowledge base inside the organization. In the market, HRC has evolved into a more recognized and competitive player — known not only for quality, but also for innovation, responsiveness and technical expertise.
The people behind the progress
Employees have been at the core of HRC’s success. Their commitment to quality, problem-solving and continuous improvement has been essential in building customer trust and delivering rollers and coatings that provide measurable results. As HRC has grown, so has the importance of creating a culture where people can develop their skills, take ownership of their work and contribute to the company’s future direction.
Looking ahead, Hannecard is focused on attracting technicians, engineers and operational professionals who bring strong technical skills and a willingness to keep learning. The company is committed to building a team that shares a common goal: delivering better performance for customers while continuously improving the way the business operates.
Looking to the next five years
As Hannecard Roller Coatings looks ahead, the focus is on continuing to expand market reach, strengthen partnerships and invest in both people and infrastructure. The long-term goal is clear: to position HRC as a leader in advanced roller solutions and a key part of Hannecard’s ability to deliver high-performance, value-driven support to customers in North America.
The last five years were about building momentum, the next five will be about maintaining it. With a stronger technical foundation, a broader geographic reach and a growing team, Hannecard Roller Coatings is well positioned to keep moving forward — helping customers improve performance today while shaping the future of roller solutions for tomorrow.
