What Hali does
Hali GmbH (operating as "hali Büromöbel") is an Austrian office furniture manufacturer headquartered in Eferding, Upper Austria, with approximately 80 years of operating history (sourced from "founded: 1942" in firmographics and "80+ years of experience" claims). The company designs, produces, and installs modular office furniture across eight product categories: tables (including sit-stand, meeting, and seminar tables), seating (office, visitor, conference, industrial, lounge), storage (cabinets, shelving, lockers), room systems (meeting booths, partitions, acoustic solutions), reception furniture, office kitchens, outdoor furniture, and accessories. Its proprietary, named product lines include the Box Locker modular locker system with configurable locking mechanisms and the Bull roller-shutter storage container family (Bull02, Bull04, Bull06); 3D visualization is used in the pre-sales planning phase.
Hali sells primarily through a direct, consultation-driven B2B model. Revenue streams consist of hardware sales, professional consulting and planning services, and delivery/installation, structured as quote-based multi-year project contracts (free initial consultation). The primary customer segment is large enterprises and corporations, with secondary segments in SMEs, industrial customers, medical practices, public institutions, and hotels/gastronomy. Distribution is anchored by seven physical showrooms across Austria (Eferding HQ, Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Lustenau, Graz, Klagenfurt) plus a German sales presence, supplemented by on-site field consultation and an e-commerce storefront (shop-hali.com) for selected SKUs. The firm employs 51–100 people, has no disclosed external investors or parent company, and is registered as a private Austrian limited liability company.
