Company historyklaus2022-01-06T16:46:47+03:00

1907 - Company Inception

Foundation of the company by the Klaus family as a wheelwright’s shop near Bad Tölz.

1933 - Company Expansion

Kaspar Klaus opens a bodywork shop and vehicle plant in Memmingen.

1939 - The year of war

During the war years, the company primarily focused on repair work and manufacturing transport vehicles.

1948 - Relocation to the Memmingen

Relocation to the business premises in Memmingen, which still exist today. This is also the time of the revolutionary invention of the “Klaus-Bremsluft-Schnellkipper” (an air brake quick tipper). Well over 100,000 of these are sold all over the world.

1952 - Amusement rides

Based on the company’s extraordinary knowledge of pneumatics, Klaus develops amusement rides (merry-go-rounds) for funfair operators, which caused a real sensation in every amusement park. The worldwide export of these easy-to-assemble constructions was visible proof of the company’s quality and cutting-edge technology. Well over 100 systems were delivered.

1953 - A range of hydraulic grippers

Once again, Klaus is way ahead of its time. A range of hydraulic grippers is 
developed that represents a major branch of production for the company into the 1980s. At this time, Klaus also specialises as a manufacturer of attachments for Daimler-Benz AG’s Unimog. Well over 3,000 excavators and loading cranes had been produced by 1983.

1964 - KLAUS parking systems - in the market

The first KLAUS parking systems arrive on the market, as parking spaces were in short supply everywhere. To deal with the demand, a separate production site was purchased 10 km south of Memmingen, in Aitrach, and operated as a branch.

1968 - Starts producing the patented Klaus side loader

Klaus takes a groundbreaking approach in vehicle manufacturing and starts producing the patented Klaus side loader. This innovation was also a success worldwide and is an important link in container transportation between road and rail.

1972 - First larger underground car parks

In the parking system sector, 3 ranges are now offered. This is also the first year, during all of the construction work for the Olympic Games in Munich, when the first larger underground car parks with up to approx. 300 parking spaces were equipped with mechanical parking systems.

1973 - The new company building in Aitrach

The new company building is purchased in the industrial area in Aitrach. The years to come are characterised by continuous expansion. Due to the ongoing development of the vehicle parking systems, KLAUS becomes one of the leading manufacturers worldwide.

1975 - Foundation of the KLAUS GmbH company in Aitrach

Foundation of the KLAUS GmbH company in Aitrach for vehicle parking systems. The first licences are granted for the production of parking systems, e.g. to Japan.

The product line is expanded in an innovative way in accordance with market requirements. The proportion of parking systems with horizontal parking spaces increases in relation to the inclined systems. Constant adjustments need to be made to the changing dimensions of vehicles.

1988 - Automatic Parking System

The trend towards more convenient parking opens up the market for the new “Automatic Parking System”. It permits only horizontal parking, with varying headrooms and simultaneously less converted space.

1993 - Fully automatic parking systems

Due to further overcrowding and the especially cramped conditions in connection with renovation projects in historic districts, the business is extended to include fully automatic parking systems. These parking systems do not have any access lanes or manoeuvring areas. The car is stored in a vacant space with the help of computer-controlled operating systems.

1998 - System 2000

Invention of a new mechanical balancing system, which was registered as “System 2000” and gradually resulted in greater parking convenience in some parking systems.
