Our story

---

HETHON was founded in 1973, initially specialising in pumps and complete solutions for the printing industry.

In 1988, HETHON developed its first dosing system for dry materials: the HETHON Feeder. This marked the beginning of our specialisation in powder handling and dosing technology.

Over the years, HETHON has grown into an internationally active specialist in dosing solutions, particularly for powders that are difficult to handle and dose accurately.

Our equipment is used for a wide variety of materials, including flour, salt, sugar, pigments, spices, milk powders, lactose, plastic granules, wood flour and many others.

We specialise in materials with challenging flow characteristics, including powders that tend to bridge, compact or segregate.

HETHON is a second-generation family-owned business, combining decades of technical expertise with the personal commitment and values that have defined the company since its foundation.

In 2008, Brenda Kesteloo, daughter of the founder, took over HETHON, continuing the family tradition of technical innovation, practical problem-solving and close customer relationships.Under her leadership, HETHON continued to develop its own equipment and strengthen its international activities, while preserving the personal approach that has always been part of the company.

Today, those family-business values remain at the heart of HETHON: direct communication, personal involvement, flexibility and a genuine commitment to finding the right solution for every customer.

Developing and manufacturing our own equipment has always been an important part of HETHON's identity.

Building on the original HETHON Feeder, our product range has expanded to include Flexible Wall Feeders, Big Bag Dischargers, Bag Dump Stations,  and vacuum conveying solutions such as VacuFeed.

Our engineering expertise also extends to the design of weighing systems and control boxes, enabling us to offer integrated dosing solutions tailored to individual processes.

HETHON's testing facilities allow us to evaluate materials, investigate dosing challenges and determine the most suitable solution before implementation.

Rather than simply supplying equipment, we work closely with our customers to understand their processes and develop reliable, long-term solutions.

HETHON operates in two complementary fields: powder handling and liquid handling.Alongside our own HETHON dosing and powder handling equipment, we represent carefully selected manufacturers of pumps, rotary joints and related industrial components.

This combination of our own engineering and manufacturing expertise with high-quality products from specialised partners enables us to support customers across a wide range of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and plastics.

Although HETHON operates internationally, we have never lost the personal approach that defines a family-owned business.We believe that every application is different and that successful dosing starts with understanding the material, the process and the customer's specific requirements.Our strength lies in combining technical knowledge, practical experience and personal attention. We aim to build lasting relationships with our customers and partners, based on trust, reliability and solutions that work.

Since 1973, HETHON has stood for technical expertise, innovation and personal commitment. And that is exactly what we intend to continue.
