What Team Styria Werkstätten does

Team Styria Werkstätten GmbH is a private Austrian industrial and services company headquartered in Graz, operating four production sites across Styria (Graz, Kapfenberg, Spielberg, Trieben) and four Wohlfühlladen regional grocery-and-café stores. Founded in 1982 as a protected workshop (Geschützte Werkstätte Steiermark) and now part of the Integrative Betriebe Österreich (dib) network of eight integrative businesses, the company employs approximately 450 people — up to 75% of whom have disabilities — delivering contract manufacturing across metalworking/welding (ISO 3834, EN 15085, EN 1090 certified), custom woodworking, electrical engineering and PCB assembly, printing and laser engraving, and facility management. Its customer base is a mix of regional Austrian B2B manufacturers and enterprise accounts including Siemens, ThyssenKrupp, ÖBB Infrastruktur, TEAM 7, JUFA Hotels, and voestalpine, complemented by the four Wohlfühlladen retail outlets serving rural communities without nearby grocery supply.

The business model combines project-based and series manufacturing for B2B customers (priced per unit/order with custom quotes, delivered direct from production sites) with retail revenue from the Wohlfühlläden. In 2025, the company extended its reach into direct-to-consumer e-commerce via the Schublator (online drawer configurator at schubladenkonfigurator.at) and into accessibility-focused products such as the Easy-Lift height-adjustable kitchen. The company is funded in part through Austrian federal and state social ministries and the AMS labor market service, which underwrite the integrative employment model. The company holds multiple ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 3834, EN 15085, EN 1090), the ÖKOPROFIT sustainability award (over 30 years), the Gütezeichen Beruf und Familie family-friendly employer seal, and the WACA digital accessibility certification, positioning it as a compliance-grade supplier in automotive, railway, and structural-steel value chains.
