Haushahn Aufzüge

What Haushahn Aufzüge does

Haushahn Aufzüge (legal entity: C. Haushahn GmbH & Co. KG) is a German private elevator manufacturer and service provider headquartered in Stuttgart, with origins tracing to 1889. The company designs, installs, and services a full portfolio of elevators including the Haushahn Plus, Pro, Pro-Flex, and Premium passenger elevator lines (payloads from 225 kg up to 2,600 kg), freight and vehicle elevators (Autoaufzug up to 4,000 kg, Lastenaufzug up to 4,000 kg, Kleingüteraufzug 50–300 kg, and industrial elevators to 15,000 kg), plus custom panoramic elevators and accessibility-focused products such as the lifeLine. Underlying technology centers on machine-room-less elevator architecture with regenerative drives, frequency-controlled gearless drive systems, microprocessor controls, modular cabin customization, an ultracapacitor-based kinetic energy recovery system (Energiespeicher, claimed up to 70% electricity reduction), LED cabin lighting retrofits, and sensor-driven shaft ventilation (Schachtentlüftung).

The company's revenue model is a mix of one-time equipment sales (new installations, modernization projects including Steuerung control retrofits, Antrieb drive replacements, and complete replacement installations), subscription-based maintenance services (Basiswartung, Vollwartung, climate-friendly Kundendienst), subscription-based digital services (Stillstandsalarm, Servicemanagement, Aufzugswärter, Lift Suite), subscription-based emergency call services (24/7 Notruf with a 30-minute passenger rescue guarantee), and transactional spare parts supply (approximately 27,000 parts available overnight and 30,000 within a few days). A distinctive feature is manufacturer-independence: more than 50% of maintained units are non-Haushahn elevators, spanning 240+ brands. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by a nationwide network of regional offices and service technicians across Germany, with website contact forms and direct consultation as the primary inbound conversion path.

Haushahn serves customers across German residential, commercial office, industrial (manufacturing, automotive — including Audi AG with ~260 systems — aviation — including Fraport AG's Terminal 3 — pharmaceuticals, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and public-sector segments). Named customers include Vetter Pharma, Audi AG, Fraport AG, Bankhaus Metzler, EAST SIDE MALL Berlin, Hotel am Steinplatz Berlin, Klinikum am Weissenhof, and FELIX WG Berlin. Marketing leverages a German-engineering brand heritage alongside digital content (website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), local sports sponsorships (TSV 1860 München, Stuttgarter Kickers, Women's Handball Bundesliga), and a premium partnership with the VDIV Berlin Brandenburg property manager association. Headcount is reported in the 1,001–5,000 range. The company is privately held with no identified parent, no funding rounds, and no public ticker.
