Overview
HTI-GRUPPE (also written HTI GC GRUPPE) is a German specialist wholesaler (Fachgroßhandel) for civil engineering (Tiefbau) and industrial technology (Industrietechnik). Rather than a single centrally owned firm, it is structured as a cooperation of independent medium-sized companies spread across Germany, each led by experienced entrepreneurs who act as personally liable partners and work alongside their employees for customers. This structure is presented by the company as a guarantee of long-term partnership, reliability and a product range tailored to customer needs. The group describes itself as the only full-range supplier (Vollsortimenter) in its field delivering products together with logistics and digital services nationwide from a single source. Its assortment spans more than 150,000 articles covering the full breadth of civil engineering and industrial technology, including utility supply and disposal, garden and landscape construction, rainwater management, sewage treatment technology, industrial technology, road and rail construction, broadband technology, renewable energies, and work equipment and tools. A newer focus area, "Versorgung 2.0," addresses telecommunications, electricity and heat, reflecting the group's positioning around sustainable, connected infrastructure. Operationally, HTI-GRUPPE reports more than 60 logistics locations (Stützpunkte) across Germany, over 1,600 employees, around 20,000 stocked articles, more than 240,000 factory number sets, over 200 field sales staff, and roughly 35 million articles shipped from stock annually. It comprises 11 independent companies (eigenständige Gesellschaften) and states it has been active in the market for 30 years, and has been recognized multiple times as a top national employer. Digitally, the group operates HTI ONLINE PLUS, an online shop and information platform for professionals in civil engineering and industrial technology as well as for planners, architects and other tendering bodies. It also offers the HTI DigitalBox (digital tools for more efficient workflows), the HTI FinanzBox (a service package with professional partners for daily operational challenges), a digital magazine called HTI PERSPEKTIV, and a catalog shelf for brochures and price lists. The brand's motto is "HTI verbindet" ("HTI connects"), used to express both its analog and digital integration of products and services.

This decentralized, partnership-based structure is central to the brand's identity and is presented as the basis for long-term relationships, reliability and a product range tailored to customer needs.
