A Brief History of Heason

Heason Technologies Group was originally founded in 1982 by David Wheeler.  Heason Technologies Group, formerly Harmonic Drive Limited, was a subsidery of the German/Japanese zero backlash gear system manufacturer, Harmonic Drive.

In 1994 a management buy-out at which time the organisation changed it's name to Heason Technologies Group.  Becoming independant allowed Heason Technologies Group to broaden its product offering to the UK market whilst continuing to underwrite it's strengths and core expertise in precision motion control.

Heason Technologies has carefully added a few select global brands to its protofolio to bring a complementary range of precision motion products to the UK through an experienced distribution channel.

Well that's only half the story; not only does Heason Technologies sell these components that are showcased on our web site, but much of our business comes from engineering these products into solutions.  Ranging from mechanical actuators through to complete motion control systems.  This places Heason Technologies into an enviable and unique position in having unrivalled product and system application knowledge.

In July 2007 the assets of Heason Technologies Group were purchased by Variohm Holdings Limited.  Variohm Holdings formed a new company called Heason Technology as a wholey ownded subsidery.  At this time Jon Howard was appointed to run the new Company as General Manager

Today Heason Technology's customers have both the developed expertise of our staff and the assurance that products and services supplied to them are of the highest possible standard from the best global manufacturers
