Stacke

What Stacke does

Stacke GmbH is a German manufacturer of high-security physical security products, founded in 1872 and headquartered in Aachen. The company's portfolio spans safes (Euroline, Compact, Einschwenktüre, Euroline XXL series), transfer safes (Euroline INTTRA), deposit systems (Cashdrop Standalone/Inwall/ecco, Cashsafe, Indrop), custom ATM safes, strongrooms (massive and modular construction in resistance grades I–XIII), strongroom doors (grades II–XIII), and the System 2000 customer deposit-box installation with the SafeNet electronic control system. All products are manufactured at the Aachen facility using state-of-the-art 3D CAD systems and certified to European standards including EN 1143-1, VdS, ECB-S, TÜV, TrezorTest, and CNPP. More recent sub-brands — the TIFFANY premium private safe series (launched September 2024) and the HUBERTUS high-security weapon cabinet (launched January 2022) — extend the core platform into consumer and firearms-storage segments.

The company sells almost exclusively through a direct, sales-led model coordinated from its Aachen headquarters via inside sales, with a physical showroom/exhibition for customer visits. Pricing is project-based and quote-only, with multi-year contract cadences on large installations. Customer segments are dominated by banks and financial institutions and ATM manufacturers (both flagged as primary), with cash-in-transit operators, industrial/commercial customers, and private individuals as secondary segments. Technology partnerships with dormakaba and insys-locks supply integrated lock systems, and the company holds memberships in industry bodies VDMA and VdS.

The business is family-owned and led by Managing Directors Theodor Stacke and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Janser, the latter also serving as Chairman of Fachverband für Sicherheitssysteme e.V. and Convenor of CEN / TC 263/WG I — giving Stacke direct influence over the European standardization regime its products are certified against. With 11–50 employees and no external funding, the company operates as a focused Mittelstand manufacturer relying on certification depth, customization capability, and standards-body participation as its primary differentiators.
