SCHEUWIMMER

What SCHEUWIMMER does

Scheuwimmer Fahrzeugbau GmbH is an Austrian commercial vehicle body manufacturer founded in 1932 and headquartered in Naarn/Perg, Upper Austria. The company designs, fabricates, and delivers custom vehicle bodies and trailers mounted on customer-supplied chassis, producing flatbed bodies (Pritschenaufbauten), enclosed box bodies (Kofferaufbauten), tippers (Kipperaufbauten), livestock transporters (Viehaufbauten), swap body systems (Wechselsysteme), trailers, fire service vehicles (Feuerwehrfahrzeuge), glass transporters, refrigerated boxes, and bespoke single-piece builds (Sonderanfertigungen/Losgrösse 1). Core production technology relies on in-house laser cutting (Laserschneiden), bespoke metal fabrication, and complete hot-dip galvanizing (Vollverzinkt/Fireverzinken) for corrosion protection — a process the company flags as a signature quality feature across its product range.

The company's revenue model is hardware sales of custom, project-based vehicle bodies plus aftermarket spare-parts identification and repair services, with pricing quoted individually per build (a sample used 2-axle turntable trailer is listed at €28,000 net ex works). Scheuwimmer sells direct to end customers — primarily transport and logistics operators, municipalities and fire services, agricultural and waste-collection firms, and specialty trades — across Austria and the wider European region, with no dealer network or public listing. Operating scale is small (1–10 employees per firmographic data) and the business is privately held by the founding family, with no disclosed external investors.
