What Remus does

REMUS Innovation GmbH, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Voitsberg, Austria, is a privately held specialty manufacturer of performance sport exhaust systems for cars and motorcycles, operating under the REMUS Group holding structure. The company designs and produces ECE/EC type-approved exhaust systems across multiple configurations (Axle-Back, GPF/CAT-Back, Turbo-Back) using stainless steel, titanium, and carbon fiber materials. Its core product portfolio spans the REMUS 8 2.0, RS 2.0, MESH, NXT, BoostR, BLACK HAWK, HYPERCONE, POWERCONE, and HEXACONE lines, with additional offerings in the Classic Line for vintage vehicles and a co-developed REMUS for BRABUS line for ultra-premium applications. A proprietary REMUS Sound Control App provides Bluetooth-enabled valve position control via OBD2 integration on compatible systems.

REMUS serves two primary customer segments: automotive enthusiasts seeking performance, sound enhancement, and aesthetic upgrades for premium brands (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, VW), and motorcycle enthusiasts across sport, touring, adventure, and cruiser categories (Harley-Davidson, KTM, BMW, Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, Ducati, Triumph). A secondary motorsport customer segment includes racing teams participating in 24H NBR, DTM, EWC, F2/F3, and Rallye series, which also serves as a product development proving ground.

The business model is a one-time hardware sale distributed through a dual channel: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform (remus.eu with vehicle-specific product search) and an extensive dealer network of 4,000+ qualified partners across 50+ countries, supported by country-level importers/distributors. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based through dealer relationships. Certifications including IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and TISAX position the firm for OEM supply chain integration. The company is led by CEO Stephan Zöchling and operates with 501–1,000 employees, generating revenue primarily from aftermarket performance exhaust hardware sales globally.
