Inside

Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau, was established in 1968 by Peter Huber. Since 1984 it has been a limited company and is completely owned by the Huber Family.

Peter Huber had several reasons to celebrate during his jubilee year in 2001:

• 33 Years of Huber Refrigeration Machines

• 22 Years of controllers featuring "Plug & Play" Technology

• 11 Years of Unistats® featuring Tango Technology

Training the next generation of engineers, technicians and craftsmen has always been a priority to the Huber company. A training program active in all departments of the factory boasts 24 indentured apprentices in several trades.

Starting in 1968, Peter Huber can state with pride that his company has been responsible for training over 60 refrigeration technicians through this program. This figure increases when we count electricians, CAD operators and office staff.

Today more than 100,000 Huber systems are in operation worldwide. 70% of our sales went to the export market.

In 1986 the company received the Dr.-Rudolf-Eberle-Award for the "Rotostat®". Please use this link to read about the Rotostat® and why Huber was honoured with this award.

1989 saw the launch of the Unistat® and Tango Technology. The Unistat® range has grown to dominate our industry and remains un-equalled. Please use this link to read more about it.

Every company has it's landmarks. Products and innovations that set it apart from their competitors. Some of these are listed below, others will follow as our engineers continue to react to the demands of the market place and the constraints of new regulations.

Please note that we use the word "First" only if we are sure that we were. If you know differently, please tell us and we will retract the claim.
