Company history

Challenge: Gravity

PLANETA is the symbiosis of tradition and futuristic innovation in the field of lifting technology. Our origins date back to 1861, when the master locksmith Hermann Wilhelmi founded his own workshop in Mülheim an der Ruhr – the later Wilhelmi hoist company, which has been trading under the name PLANETA-Hebetechnik since 2003.

With a relentless pursuit of precision, our products soon made their mark not only on halls, but also on entire industries. Subsidiaries in Paris, Vienna and Shanghai followed and became hubs of our widespread presence and international know-how.

Quality and safety have always been the driving force behind our expansion – and our certifications in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9000:2001 and the strict regulations for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) are not just certificates on the wall, but a living promise in every one of our products and services.

Today, PLANETA is not only shaping the future of lifting technology, but redefining it. We want to perfect our devices so that they not only lift loads, but also bring safety, efficiency and technical progress to our customers.
