What TK Home Solutions does

TK Home Solutions N.V. is a Belgian-incorporated stairlift manufacturer and residential mobility solutions provider headquartered in Ghent with a German branch (Zweigniederlassung) in Düsseldorf. The company designs, custom-manufactures, installs, and services stairlifts for elderly homeowners and individuals with mobility limitations who wish to age in place, serving one of the largest installed bases in Germany at 40,000+ customers. The business traces its origins to thyssenkrupp's first stairlift manufactured in 1957 and became a wholly-owned business unit of the independent TK Elevator Group following thyssenkrupp's 2021 spin-off of its elevator business. Management comprises two Managing Directors, Eelco Ree and Farid Oilad Adj Amar.

The product portfolio includes the S100 straight-stair lift (from €5,300), the S200 curved-stair lift (from €10,000), and the S100 Outdoor variant (from €5,800). The portfolio is differentiated by three proprietary technology layers: the ASL (Automatic Swivel Leveling) module for space-saving rail rotation, the Hololinc mixed-reality measurement system built on Microsoft HoloLens for AR-based pre-installation visualization, and MAX Home, a cloud-based predictive maintenance platform developed by parent TK Elevator. The company operates with end-to-end vertical integration, combining in-home field consultation, custom EU manufacturing, installation by its own service technicians, and recurring maintenance over the asset's lifetime.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time equipment sales, rental subscriptions, annual maintenance contracts priced at €150-300/year, and on-demand repair services at €100-1,000 per call. Pricing is augmented by German public funding mechanisms including Pflegekasse care-insurance subsidies up to €4,180 per eligible person and KfW loans/grants for barrier-reduction retrofits. Go-to-market combines a direct field-sales force covering all 16 German federal states with a 24/7 hotline, supplemented by the MobilPartner referral network (healthcare providers, senior-care organizations), affiliate partners, and an architect/planner program. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications (TÜV Nord), GDPR and BFSG compliance, and won a 2022 German Design Award.
