Press release
AS Aufzüge, a subsidiary of the Schindler Group, has acquired
Henseler Aufzüge and its associated affiliates from the
Henseler Brothers. The Henseler Group is an innovative,
successful, medium-sized company that has made a name for
itself mainly through its unique elevator technology. No job
losses are foreseen as a result of the transaction and the
company's headquarters and production site at Küssnacht
am Rigi will be maintained and expanded.
Henseler Aufzüge employs over 150 people and is the owner of
the unique 'Magic' elevator system, which holds
several international patents thanks to technology that
requires very low headroom and allows the elevator to be
serviced from inside the car. 'Magic' therefore
offers major advantages in both new buildings and in existing
buildings which are fitted with new elevator systems.
The company headquarters, competence center and production
facilities are to remain in Küssnacht am Rigi. The expansion
will be completed by the end of 2012 as part of a planned
increase in production capacity.
AS Aufzüge originated from the merger of medium-sized
elevator companies and is a leader in the area of customized
elevator solutions and maintenance services for a wide range
of elevator brands.
Henseler Aufzüge and AS Aufzüge ideally complement each other
through the combination of Henseler's unique 'Magic'
technology and AS Aufzüge's strong distribution network.
Being part of the Schindler Group gives Henseler Aufzüge
access to the international market.
The Henseler Brothers are confident that the sale to AS
Aufzüge is an optimal solution for the future of their
company and for securing the jobs of its personnel.
About Henseler
Henseler was founded as a stand-alone company in Risch by
Hans Henseler in 1960. At first, the company focused on
mechanical engineering but from 1970 increasingly specialized
in elevator production. In 1994, the founder's sons
Kilian and Markus took over the firm. The company quickly
built up an excellent reputation for customized and
innovative elevator solutions. In 2007, the revolutionary
elevator system 'MRL-Magic' was launched. It was very well
received by the market and led to strong growth. On the back
of buoyant sales, the company in 2010 began building a new
head office and competence center in Küssnacht am Rigi.
