stinova GmbH Objekteinrichtungen Innenausbau

What stinova GmbH Objekteinrichtungen Innenausbau does

stinova GmbH Objekteinrichtungen Innenausbau, legally stinova Einrichtungs- und Verkaufs-Organisation GmbH, is a privately held German interior fit-out specialist founded in 1966 in Achern, Baden-Württemberg, and operated as a family-owned GmbH under second-generation managing directors Sabine Stinus-Sandhacker and Jörg Sandhacker. The company designs and delivers custom interior fixtures and furniture for clients across five vertical segments: orthopedic and healthcare (the primary segment), hospitality and gastronomy, cruise ships (river vessels on the Rhine, Danube, Rhone, and Seine), retail/shopfitting, and residential. Its core technical capability is integrated multi-workshop production — joinery, metalworking, upholstery, paint shop, and textile processing — under one roof at a 2,400 m² Achern facility, supplemented by 'Atelier stinova', a planning office founded in 1990 that manages complex projects from initial design sketch through turnkey assembly.

The company monetizes through project-based, custom-priced contracts for interior fit-out and custom furniture production, with revenue derived from professional services and product delivery. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at planners, design offices, and architects, as well as direct client engagement; the company is notably a preferred fit-out partner for Austrian and German planning offices and operates a recurring 24-hour maintenance service for river cruise ships via service stations in Achern, Vilshofen, Vienna, and Budapest. The product portfolio includes both services (interior design, project management, cruise ship maintenance) and proprietary products (orthomed EL, orthosan EL/PK, orthoven treatment chairs, compact platforms, combination treatment recliners, seating furniture, and shoe servers). The company serves clients across Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and France, with internationally recognized design credentials including two publications in the Trade Fair Design Annual (2016/17 and 2025).

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company has no subsidiaries, no external funding, no parent company, and has remained independent under family ownership for 50+ years. Notable named clients include Arosa River Cruises (multiple ships), Hotel Tigaiga Tenerife, Daimler (Böblingen canteen), and numerous healthcare and orthopedic retail customers across the DACH region.
