SCHABUS - definitely more relaxed

As a German manufacturer, we have specialized in the development of electrotechnical measuring sensors and alarm systems for use in home and security technology for 30 years.

We offer plug-in products specifically designed for private users as well as sophisticated professional solutions for professionals; measurement and alarm technology that makes your life and the lives of your customers safer and therefore more relaxing.

Our ISO certification, obtained in 2019, confirms that our quality assurance processes meet international standards.

SCHABUS - the brand

We have long been a household name among industry insiders: the name SCHABUS stands for quality from Germany, or to be precise, from Upper Bavaria.

To ensure that everyone recognizes that SCHABUS stands for brand quality , we have now protected and registered our company name as a trademark.

And we're a tiny bit proud of it.

service

For our service team, intensive customer contact is a top priority – and as a company, we are also working to ensure that you, as a customer, can continue to receive our products from us at a good, reasonable price-performance ratio, despite the current global economic situation.

Our personal commitment is our recipe for success. Every day, we address your individual requirements with expertise and passion. Our trained sales and service team is happy to help and answer your questions; or even develop new, tailored product solutions based on your needs.

SCHABUS - our 2 production sites

Our production facilities, with two locations in Stephanskirchen, Upper Bavaria, and, since 2010, also in Rohrdorf, enable us to offer the necessary flexibility, cost-effective production, on-time delivery reliability, and the assurance of our highest quality standards. "Made in Germany," in other words—we also contribute to its excellent global reputation through our work.

Exhaust air systems

We are particularly proud of our pioneering work in the field of exhaust air systems, which earned our owner, Wolfgang Schabus, the unofficial title of "Mister Exhaust Air." The SCHABUS exhaust air control system, registered as a utility model in 2002, was developed in cooperation with TÜV Süd in response to the Combustion Regulations and modified to meet the latest requirements and state-of-the-art technology. Both the wired and wireless exhaust air control systems are tested according to DIN EN 60730 and therefore meet the highest safety standards. The German Institute for Building Technology has also certified this with DIBt approval.

SCHABUS - Environmental Protection & Sustainability

… more than trendy marketing buzzwords:

Of course, we manufacture in compliance with the RoHS Directive, which is binding throughout the EU and regulates the use of environmentally harmful substances, and we stay below the permissible limits wherever possible. And of course, as a manufacturer, we are also bound by the WEEE EU Directive, which regulates the valid take-back and recycling of old devices. We therefore assume the organization and costs of taking back our products from the collection point, ensuring that disposal is completely free of charge for our customers.

More importantly, and the decisive difference here is again our company philosophy: we want to make life easier, better and safer for our customers.

For us, this also includes the sensible and careful use of resources, materials, and energy. In concrete terms, this means that we plan and design our products in such a way that even older models can be repaired in the event of wear or defects. This goes against the frequently observed trend of so-called "planned obsolescence" or the throwaway mentality of many large online retailers.

So if one of our products no longer works as it should, if a device or sensor is defective or blocked, talk to us. In many cases, we can find a sustainable solution.

Lighting Division

For applications in film and TV productions as well as in the trade fair and event sector, we have developed the innovative “Light & Division” product range, a control system for spotlights that makes it much easier to adjust the lighting in television studios and stages via radio or DMX.

SCHABUS - for over 30 years

With our 30 years of experience, we are also a competent partner for trade, crafts and industry. In addition to our own product range, we also manufacture custom electronic and electromechanical products, i.e. special solutions even in small quantities.

In addition to our signaling and sensor production, we also handle cable assemblies for renowned manufacturers, including connecting cables, device cabling, cable harnesses, data cables, pre-assembled single strands, and multicore connecting cables (Cannon/Schaltbau).

Water detectors & sensors

Anyone looking to detect water leaks or ingress at home will find what they're looking for in our product range, as will professionals who, for example, need potential-free contacts to send an alert via a GSM module. We'll be happy to advise you on the best solution for your needs.

SCHABUS - Corporate Culture

The company's founding and the development of our first products stemmed from precise market analysis and a keen sense of our customers' needs – we develop and produce home and building security technology that is simply needed and for which we can identify demand even before product development. Our particular strength lies in our flexibility, which allows us to respond to such developments with exceptional speed.

That's why, since our founding in 1992, maintaining close contact with market developments, whether with specialists or private end customers, has become part of our corporate culture. Only through this can we understand customer needs and continually develop new, innovative products and applications. And it is precisely this corporate culture that makes us a long-term, solid, and consistent partner for specialist retailers, local tradespeople, and service providers.

The philosophy of “Laptop and Lederhose” sums it up quite well: on the one hand, it stands for Bavaria as a high-tech location, meaning the highest quality in materials and workmanship and state-of-the-art technical know-how – and on the other hand, it stands for the Bavarian way of life, which, among other things, also means “we’ll tackle it, we’ll find a solution”… in other words, a very flexible, solution-oriented attitude.

and inventory - because supply chains have been disrupted by the global Corona pandemic and are still operating at a significantly slower pace.

Purchasing materials for our production requires precise logistics and perfect timing – because components are often only available with long delivery times or are not available at all. In addition, prices have skyrocketed.
