Since July 1, 2026, Harro Höfliger has had a direct presence in the French market with the newly founded Harro Höfliger France SAS. Based in Colmar, the company consolidates sales and service activities locally, thereby strengthening customer relationships in France.

The company is headed by Gilles Ganter. A long-time industry expert, he has served as Director of Sales France for Harro Höfliger since February 2025 and has over 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and medical technology market. His comprehensive market understanding and established network form an important foundation for the further expansion of activities in France.

With the establishment of the national subsidiary, Harro Höfliger is responding to the increasing demand in one of the most important European markets for pharmaceuticals and medical technology. The aim is to provide even more direct customer support in the future, to react more quickly to requirements, and to further expand local service offerings.

“With our presence in France, we are creating optimal conditions to support our customers even more individually and efficiently – naturally also in their native language,” emphasizes Gilles Ganter.

The new company represents a further step in Harro Höfliger's international growth strategy. At the same time, the company underscores its commitment to supporting customers worldwide with customized solutions and first-class service throughout the entire machine lifecycle.
