What Maars Living Walls does

Maars Living Walls is a Netherlands-headquartered, privately held manufacturer of modular partition wall systems, office pods, and interior doors for commercial interiors, founded in 1946 and operating from Harderwijk with 251-500 employees. Its product portfolio centers on a configurable set of glass walls (lalinea, String², Panorama, Double Horizon, Horizon), solid and acoustic partition walls, fire-resistant systems (Metaline), multi-functional systems (M923., Living Options), and the Halo family of office pods (Halo 1, Halo 2, and the in-testing Halo 4), complemented by steel, wooden, glass, and sliding doors, cleanroom wall systems, and a renovation/reuse service. Core technology is in-house developed and produced, with certified acoustic, steel, and fire-rated performance — including the world's first 50dB glazed door — and a sustainability proposition built around modularity and reusability across refurbishment cycles.

The business sells project-based, quote-driven wall solutions to enterprise customers across corporate offices, education, healthcare, hospitality, aviation, and renovation use cases, with reference projects including Deloitte's The Edge in Amsterdam, Saudi Aramco's Aramco Tower, Rabobank Utrecht, Houthoff, and Vienna Airport. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales through regional managers with an extensive channel: 165 dealer locations spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia, and selected emerging markets, supported by wholly-owned subsidiaries in the US, UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, UAE, Belgium, Poland, and others. The company is expanding its North American manufacturing footprint with a first US production plant in Charleston, South Carolina, announced in October 2025, complementing the existing Kearny, New Jersey commercial office.
