About Johannes Hübner Giessen

Johannes Hübner Fabrik elektrischer Maschinen GmbH, known as Hübner Giessen, is a German specialist in heavy-duty rotary encoders and encoder systems, based in Giessen (Gießen) and active since 1934. The company develops and manufactures incremental and absolute encoders, magnetic encoders, speed and position switches, tachometers and complete encoder systems — notably its U-ONE universal encoder system with fibre-optic signal transmission — engineered for extreme mechanical and climatic conditions. Its core markets are heavy industry: steel and rolling mills, mining, port and crane technology, oil and gas, railway technology, hydroelectric plants and wind power, where its encoders monitor speed, position and overspeed limits on main drives, hoists, crane trolleys, booms and slewing mechanisms.

Hübner Giessen supplies crane manufacturers, plant operators and their suppliers worldwide, customising encoder solutions to the machine, mounting conditions and control technology, and supports modernisation projects that replace mechanical tachometers and cam switches with digital, safety-certified encoder systems (including SIL / PL-rated variants and ATEX explosion-proof models). For robotics and automation supply chains, it is a niche feedback-device maker whose robust encoders serve the heavy end of motion control rather than light-duty servo applications.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	8 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
