Minimax Mobile Services

What Minimax Mobile Services does

Minimax Mobile Services GmbH is a German fire-protection products and services provider headquartered in Bad Urach, founded in 1902 and operating as part of the Minimax Viking Group. The company supplies a complete fire-protection portfolio — handheld and mobile fire extinguishers (water, foam, powder, CO2, fat- and metal-fire variants, plus fluor-free formulations), fire-water technology (system separators, pressure-boosting stations, wall hydrants, dry risers, extinguishing containers, monitors under the proprietary 'maximat' brand), smoke and heat exhaust ventilation systems (RWA/NRWA/EAT), fixed extinguishing systems including mobile roll-container and trailer-mounted units, smoke/warning detectors, and safety graphics/plans. Proprietary, FM-approved hardware (Brandschutzwanne BWCon 1.400) and certified systems (VdS, BHE, TÜV, FM, ISO 9001/45001/50001) anchor the technical offering.

The business is built on a field-sales-led GTM model with 340+ service technicians covering Germany and Austria and specialized business units (Löschwassertechnik in Glinde, RWA in Löhne, plus a Brandschutz-Center in Vienna). Revenue is generated from (1) one-time product sales of fire-protection equipment, (2) recurring maintenance and inspection contracts on extinguishers, extinguishing systems, fire-water technology, RWA, and fire doors (with €100 Notdienst surcharge for non-contract customers and auto-commissioned repair work up to €1,000), (3) recurring training and education delivered via the in-house Brandschutz-Akademie in classroom, hybrid, and online formats, (4) consulting and initial-equipment provisioning, and (5) certified disposal of extinguishers and extinguishing agents. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Customers range from sole proprietors to large corporations across logistics, medical technology, chemical/elastomer, and automotive verticals — with named enterprise users including Geis Eurocargo GmbH, Sysmex Partec GmbH, Lausitz Elaste GmbH, and BorgWarner Ludwigsburg GmbH. Self-service digital tools (needs assessor, pressure loss calculator, customer portal, electronic invoicing in PDF/ZUGFeRD/X-Rechnung formats) extend reach beyond the technician footprint, supporting a horizontally segmented customer base served predominantly on recurring maintenance contracts.
