Our company history over the course of time

1916
Lorenz Hartmann

In 1916, Lorenz Hartmann worked for SUVA, which was in the process of being founded, as an inspector, first in Chur and then in Winterthur. Subsequently, he established an occupational safety policy at Sulzer AG in Winterthur.

1945

In 1945, he became self-employed and founded L. Hartmann-Unfallverhütung AG with a focus on providing advice concerning accident prevention and reintegration. Due to the lack of availability on the Swiss market, he imported and sold specialist protection equipment. He supported his clients by helping them to reduce accidents and to negotiate more risk-based premiums.

1949
Walter Hartmann

In 1949, his son, Prof. Dr. Walter Hartmann, joined the company and later took on the role of Chief Executive Officer. He recognised the importance of the availability of good data for successful prevention and therefore supported his clients based on the collected data.

1984

In 1984, Robert Hartman, the first representative of the third generation, took on the position of Chief Executive Officer and initiated the development of IT-based solutions to reduce administrative cost and to optimise accident processes.

1985

In 1985, Dr. med. Andrea Hartmann, the second representative of the third generation, joined the company. He focused on occupational medicine and industrial hygiene.

1998

In the 1990s, the need to simplify administration and processing increased, not only for accidents but also for illnesses. Therefore, the software UKA Solutions was developed by the sister company, HRM Systems AG, in 1998. Now, accident and illness data can be transmitted and processed electronically with a high degree of automation.

2002

In 2002, the systemised absence management system AMF was developed. Early detection, in particular in the case of short absences, was now possible thanks to the availability of good data.

2006

In 2006, L. Hartmann Unfallverhütung AG and HRM Systems AG merged. From then on, the company operated under the name of HRM Systems AG.

2017

In 2017, the AMF module used in UKA Solutions software was replaced by the CAREMA software, which although independent was affiliated with UKA. Enhanced features, an intuitive user interface and a module for case management enabled comprehensive occupational health management.

2018

In 2018, PEP Services was launched. In close collaboration with Urs Heer GmbH, we holistically support companies in the health and social sector in relation to the process and personnel deployment planning.

2020

In 2020, HRM Systems and Abacus formed a partnership. Thanks to this, since 2022, Abacus customers have been able to do their accident and illness administration with UKA Connect directly from their MyAbacus.

2022

In 2022, HRM Systems formed a partnership with SAP to also directly connect SAP to UKA Connect. From the end of 2025, this connection is planned for the Success Factors Employee Central Payroll cloud solution as well as the HCM on-premise solution.

Today

Georg Hartmann, a representative of already the fourth generation, currently manages the company.
