Schwing, the Vulkan Group, Evonik and Ineos, along with logistics firms and pharmaceutical wholesalers, make Herne a location for mechanical engineering, chemicals and retail in the heart of the Ruhr area. Add the ports on the Rhine-Herne Canal, and the need for software, interfaces, websites, automation and IT service is considerable.
Digital solutions for businesses in Herne
Herne is an independent city in the heart of the Ruhr area, right on the Rhine-Herne Canal with inland ports in Wanne-West, Wanne-Ost and at the Westhafen. Mining and mining suppliers were followed by mechanical and plant engineering (Schwing, Vulkan), chemicals (Evonik, Ineos), logistics and retail; the Parfümerie Pieper chain is headquartered here. The A 42 and A 43 meet at the Herne interchange, and the U35 light rail links the city underground with Bochum. The Cranger Kirmes, the Marienhospital as a university hospital of Ruhr University Bochum and the Akademie Mont-Cenis give Herne a profile of its own.
Between the Cranger Kirmes, the Rhine-Herne Canal and Wilhelm Kreis's town hall, Herne shows how the Ruhr area works: down-to-earth, well connected and always ready for the next structural change. We support businesses throughout Herne – for example in Herne-Mitte, Wanne, Eickel, Sodingen and Röhlinghausen.
