Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the Herka takeover
The company Herbst + Karthaus (Herka), founded in 1919, was wound up last year. In order to preserve the valuable technical expertise, the original tools and the production capacities in the region, Moog & Langenscheidt GmbH from Kierspe has taken over the company’s entire inventory.
Who is my point of contact for former Herka products?Moog & Langenscheidt GmbH is your new expert partner. With over 120 years of experience (since 1906), we are continuing Herka’s tradition and quality at our factory in Kierspe. We are available to former customers of Herbst and Karthaus for all technical enquiries.
Can I still purchase the full range (e.g. binding mechanisms, pendulum plates)?Yes. Having taken over the entire inventory, machinery and technical documentation, we are ideally equipped to continue the familiar product range – from File Prongs and cover strips to specialised hook cover strips. Please contact us directly with your specific enquiry or the old Herka item number.
How can I contact the team for advice on Herka products?Our sales team looks forward to meeting you. You can reach us by telephone on 02269 92440 or by email at info@moog-langenscheidt.de. We would be happy to review your requirements based on the Herka documentation we have taken over.
