Haberkorn once again With effect from 1st W 16 January 2012, Haberkorn Ulmer GmbH is to revert to its original name of Haberkorn GmbH.
hy is the company name being changed? After taking over the business operations of Gebruder Ulmer, the double name ‘Haberkorn Ulmer’ was important in many respects. Since then, however, these aspects have lost their relevance. This is reflected in the fact that for some time now most employees, customers and
suppliers have only been using the name “Haberkorn” when referring to Haberkorn Ulmer. The only change is to the company name. The website will retain its current address and all
other business data, such as address and VAT registration number, remain unchanged. Familiar contacts will continue to be available to support customers and Haberkorn’s nationwide Austrian sales network remains at their disposal.
