Mateco Luxembourg

What Mateco Luxembourg does

Mateco Luxembourg (legal entity: mateco S.à r.l.) is a privately held, Luxembourg-domiciled equipment rental and sales company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Contern. It rents and sells aerial work platforms (Arbeitsbühnen) and adjacent construction equipment, serving customers who need temporary elevated access for construction, industrial maintenance, installation, painting, facade work, and public infrastructure projects. The entity operates within the broader mateco group, which runs more than 160 rental stations across Europe, Panama, Mexico, and Chile with a fleet exceeding 40,000 work platforms in 700+ configurations, capable of reaching working heights up to 90 m, lateral reaches up to 43 m, and load capacities up to 7,200 kg.

The core technology stack centers on a physical asset base supplemented by a digital rental layer: an online product database with downloadable technical specifications; the mymateco customer portal for self-service booking and order management; a multi-language (DE/EN/FR) corporate website; and supporting CRM/marketing tooling (Mailchimp, Google Ads, LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube). The fleet spans truck-mounted boom lifts, scissor lifts, telescopic and articulated boom lifts, vertical mast lifts, spider lifts, telehandlers, forklifts, material/personnel lifts, and construction equipment (excavators, wheel loaders, dumpers, compressors). Training and certification services (PlatformCard, StaplerCard, TelestaplerCard) and maintenance offerings round out the value chain.

Revenue mechanics combine (i) recurring equipment rental — the primary stream, quote-based and tiered by duration/project — (ii) one-time equipment sales, (iii) fee-based training and certification, and (iv) service/maintenance contracts. GTM is hybrid: product-led growth via online rental requests and the mymateco portal serving SMBs/trades; enterprise field sales with on-site consultation serving construction firms, industrial plants, and public-sector buyers; and channel partners extending geographic coverage. Owned subsidiaries include mateco Schweiz AG, Maltech AG, and Skyworker Trade AG (the latter two acquired via the 2023 Maltech Holding AG deal), and the group is led by Managing Director Stefan Kurtze in Luxembourg.
