Hirschmann industrial switches
We are a Hirschmann reseller: RSP switches, RSPE switches, HiOS, EAGLE firewalls. Delivered with the settings already on it, installed where that is needed, and with a price and lead time before you decide.
What Hirschmann makes
Hirschmann is a German Belden brand and stands in industrial automation roughly where Cisco stands in the office: it is the name written into specifications. The switches speak the factory-floor protocols, so a control system sees the network as part of the installation and not as a foreign box.
Why Hirschmann, and where it stops
We choose Hirschmann when the specification prescribes it or when the machine supplier insists, and that is the case more often than a technical comparison justifies, but it is a real condition and not a matter of taste. Where it stops: it is dearer than Westermo at equal specifications, and the configuration asks for knowledge of both the network and the installation. We do the network side; what runs over that cable in terms of control stays with the party that built the machine.

What the price depends on
We do not run a webshop, so there is no rate here that would not apply to your situation anyway. What is here is what the amount depends on, so you know what to send along to get one quickly.
- Model and configurationWithin one product line the gap between the entry model and the heaviest variant is large. Tell us what the device has to do and we pick the configuration that fits, rather than the most expensive one that would.
- The quantityOn a larger batch the per-device price comes down. Twenty at once is a different conversation from two, even when everything else is equal.
- What has to be on itA device delivered with your settings, software and security costs more than a box, and saves an installation day per unit. That is a choice, not a surcharge.
- Delivery and installationTo one address or to fifteen sites, with or without on-site placement, with or without taking away what was there. That difference is in the price and it is yours to steer.
- Buying or renting, and for how longThe same equipment can be a purchase or a monthly amount across three or four years. That changes not only the figure but where it lands in the books, and it is the conversation with the most in it.
What we do around Hirschmann
Supplying equipment is one thing. A network that holds on the busiest day is the work that follows.
- Design before anything is orderedThe building and the usage first, the equipment second. A quote without a design is a guess with a price on it.
- Configuration that is recordedSettings live in version control, so a replacement device runs like the old one within the hour.
- Segmentation from the startGuest network, office and equipment kept apart, so one infected device does not take the rest with it.
- Monitoring on itLines and equipment are watched, so a fault is known to us before you call.
What Hirschmann plugs into
What it hangs together with in practice. If you already run these, the brand fits onto what is there instead of beside it.
- PROFINET and Modbus
- SNMP
- Syslog and SIEM
Delivered worldwide
We deliver in the Netherlands, Belgium and Türkiye from our own offices, and beyond that through our distribution partners. On a larger batch the per-device price comes down.
Frequently asked
Do you supply Hirschmann on its own, without management?
Yes. We supply and configure, and whether the management stays with us is a separate choice. What we do not do is hand over a box and leave the rest to you.
Which Hirschmann equipment do you supply?
The business lines: RSP switches, RSPE switches, HiOS, EAGLE firewalls. What fits follows from the number of sites, the number of devices and what is coming in the next few years.
Can you take over an existing network?
Yes, and that always starts with documenting what is there. At a handover it is usually the documentation that is missing, not the equipment.
