HMK is one of the most renowned distributors of automation solutions in the UK. Growing demand for open systems and complete drive technology solutions led to contact with KEBA – and the cooperation has now been officially sealed.

The agreement covers the entire Kemro X portfolio, including KeTop Basic, KeDrive, controllers, I/Os, and customized special solutions. HMK has a warehouse for KEBA spare parts and also offers technical customer service in accordance with KEBA standards.

Our products are already listed on the HMK website, and the first projects are currently being implemented.

With HMK, we’ve found a strong partner who shares our values and knows the UK market inside out. Together, we aim to set new benchmarks in industrial automation
