Meissner Sicherheitstechnik Gmbh

What Meissner Sicherheitstechnik Gmbh does

Meissner Sicherheitstechnik GmbH is a German manufacturer of fall-protection and personal protective equipment (PPE), headquartered in Ulm and founded in 1910. The company designs and produces a comprehensive range of safety hardware including full-body harnesses, carabiners, descenders, rescue devices, and horizontal and vertical safety systems. Products are certified to EN 361:2002 and EN 358:2019 and carry CE 0158 marking, satisfying mandatory EU conformity requirements for personal fall protection.

The company serves B2B customers in three focused verticals: wind energy (Windkraft), overhead line construction (Freileitung), and industrial construction. Sales are direct B2B with no public price disclosure. Open job postings for sewing staff (Näher/in), metalworkers (Metallbauer), and wind-turbine service technicians (Service-Techniker im Bereich Windkraft) indicate an integrated manufacturing and field-service model rather than a pure OEM/distributor structure. Leadership consists of Caroline Liebler (Managing Partner / Geschäftsführende Gesellschafterin) and Stefan Liebler (Managing Director / Geschäftsführer), confirming the business remains family-owned.

Beyond core hardware, the company surfaces adjacent offerings including a Schulung (training) program and a mobile App referenced in site navigation, signaling an intent to extend from product sales into recurring service and digital tooling. The combined footprint — certified hardware, verticalized field service in wind and overhead lines, in-house metal fabrication, training, and a mobile extension — defines the current operating scope based on the available evidence.
