Incident Report
| Target Organization | Hell Helmut GmbH |
|---|---|
| Threat Group | thegentlemen |
| Summary | fachhandel-hell.at Hell Helmut GmbH is a small family-owned B2B wholesale company based in Hall in Tirol, Austria, operating for over 20 years and specialized in sanitary and heating supplies. The company positions itself as a system supplier for underfloor heating, serving professional installers across Tyrol, Vorarlberg, and Salzburg. It sources directly from leading manufacturers — primarily IMI Heimeier (thermostatic and balancing valves) and Uponor (underfloor heating and drinking water systems) — guaranteeing original quality. Its key differentiator is in-house prefabrication: ready-made manifold stations and water metering stations built exclusively from IMI and Uponor components. The business is 100% owned and personally managed by its founder Helmut Hell, with a lean team of about 5–6 people. Overall, it is a classic regional specialist wholesaler: small, owner-run, and focused on system-based project supply rather than retail. |
