ABUS Production
Our production facilities in Germany
Developing and producing efficient and well-thought-out crane solutions is our daily business. Our goal is to make our products and production process even more precise and future-proofed in order to meet customer expectations, offer our employees a safe workplace and prepare our facilities for future challenges.
We have been manufacturing 100% in Gummersbach since 1965. The Bergisches Land region in which Gummersbach sits has long been known as a traditional engineering region. This is also where the heart of ABUS beats: at three production sites around Gummersbach, over 1,000 employees manufacture the high-quality crane systems ‘Made in Germany’, which are then dispatched worldwide. These facilities combine modern technology, decades of experience and high quality standards – the foundation for quality, safe lifting and handling of loads of all kinds.
Production Overhead Cranes and Cpmponents
The original and still the main ABUS location is in Gummersbach-Lantenbach. This is where our single-girder overhead travelling cranes are welded, painted and fully assembled. Since 2022, our product development and crane laboratory, where ideas and innovations are developed that make our cranes higher quality and more cost-effective, have also been located at this site.
Product Development at the Crane Laboratory
Our product Research & Development centre is also located in Gummersbach-Lantenbach – the birthplace of innovative ideas that make our cranes both higher quality and more cost-effective. In the Crane Laboratory, innovations and variants are thoroughly tested and put through their paces.
Production of Heavier-duty Overhead Cranes
In Gummersbach-Herreshagen, everything is a bit bigger. The production of heavy-duty single and double-girder overhead travelling cranes requires space in all dimensions. Since 2011, ABUS has been annually manufacturing hundreds of overhead travelling cranes with large spans and a load capacities of up to 120 t, as well as hoists and components, at this location. The ABUS KranHaus, a unique exhibition and seminar centre, is also located on this site.
Production of Light Cranes and Chain Hoists
In Marienheide-Rodt, everything revolves around our light crane systems. Jib cranes and chain hoists are manufactured and assembled here and ‘HB’ light crane systems are assembled here.
