Hensel "Made in Germany"
We develop exciting flash and lighting technology products for the photographers of today. We are constantly working out new ideas to keep ahead of the times and listening to what our customers want. The result is groundbreaking developments such as the PORTY – the world’s first mobile generator for outdoor use – and the new SPEED flash units in the EH PRO MINI range.
We are constantly improving the reliability and ease of use of our equipment.
Even minor developments, such as the honeycomb for the Beauty Dish, can make a photographer’s work easier and extend the potential applications of a product.
Hensel is home to innovations that make your work easier.
The Hensel team, who invents, develops, produces and – if necessary – repairs the products is based here in Würzburg. We are pleased that you as an expert have recognised the difference between our branded products and some of the cheap Asian imports and are supporting our work through your continued interest. Therefore, our equipment will continue to be “Made in Germany” and thus secure jobs here.
Hensel // the light that makes the difference
