Mauser

What Mauser does

mauser einrichtungssysteme GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of steel furniture and installation systems, founded in 1896 in Schramberg and headquartered at a 27,000 sqm production facility in Korbach, Hesse. The company produces office furniture (height-adjustable desks, conference tables, acoustic cabinets, room dividers), industrial storage systems (workshop cabinets, shelving, archive furniture), and outdoor products (PISTE-KISTE bicycle garages and voltpoint e-bike battery charging cabinets), all built on a steel core material platform finished with Nanoceramic pre-treatment and powder coating. The product portfolio spans 30+ named SKUs and is organized into vertical-specific segments: Office & Administration, Medical Practices & Law Firms, Storage & Operations, Archive & Museum, Bicycle Garages, and Industry & Contract Manufacturing.

The technology base is rooted in steel processing — sheet metal fabrication, integrated powder coating with Nanoceramic chemistry, and mechanical engineering for height-adjustable desks (650–1,300 mm) and acoustic cabinet fronts that absorb up to 95% of sound. mauser carries an unusually dense certification stack (ISO 9001/14001/50001, FEMB level, GS-tested, QUALITY-OFFICE, RAL-RG 614, DIN EN 13501-1) that materially shortens procurement cycles for German government, archive, and enterprise customers. The business operates as a privately held subsidiary within the Vauth-Sagel Gruppe (since 2004, under managing director Dr. Martin Sagel) and earns revenue through a B2B enterprise field-sales motion mediated by a 100+ specialist dealer network across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Bulgaria, supplemented by direct project sales with holistic space-planning services and a contract-manufacturing (Lohnfertigung) stream for industrial partners. Pricing is quote-based per project, with multi-year contract cadence on object installations.

• Kinnarps: Major European office furniture group with steel and wood offerings across DACH and Nordics. Competes with Mauser in the office segment with broader product portfolio and stronger Nordic footprint.
• Vitra: Swiss premium office and home furniture company with strong design credentials. Comparable in targeting premium enterprise and architect-led projects, though Vitra leans more design-iconic versus Mauser's industrial steel heritage.
