Company Overview:

Deublin Company is a global manufacturer of rotary unions – a mechanical device that allows the transfer of pressurized fluid from a stationary source into rotating machinery for heating, cooling, or transfer of fluid power. Rotating union applications include automotive manufacturing, packaging manufacturing, food and processing equipment, machine tool applications, renewable energy, and more. Deublin’s product line includes steam joints and siphon systems for paper machine dryer cans, and electrical slip rings used to conduct electrical currents or signals into rotating machinery. With its world headquarters in Waukegan – a suburb of Chicago, IL – Deublin spans the world with wholly owned subsidiaries in Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, Singapore, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

After 74 years as a family-owned company, Deublin was acquired in 2019 by Hoerbiger Group, a privately-held industrial company headquartered in Switzerland. Like Deublin, Hoerbiger started as a family-owned firm. Our shared values – mission-critical industrial solutions that are second to none, strong commitments to employees, and strong relationships with customers – brought the two companies together. Today, Hoerbiger has nearly 7,000 employees in more than 50 countries around the world.
