SCHABUS - certainly more relaxed

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

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

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

SCHABUS - the brand

Among industry insiders, we are already a household name: the name SCHABUS – stands for quality from Germany, or more precisely, from Upper Bavaria.

But so that everyone really understands that SCHABUS for Brand quality Since that's the case, we have now had our company name protected and registered as a trademark.

And we're just 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 attend to your individual requirements with expertise and dedication. Our trained sales and service team is happy to assist you and answer your questions; or even develop new, suitable product solutions based on your needs.

SCHABUS - our 2 production locations

Our production facilities, with two sites in Stephanskirchen, Upper Bavaria, and since 2010 also in Rohrdorf, enable us to guarantee the necessary flexibility, cost-effective manufacturing, on-time delivery, and the assurance of our highest quality standards. Truly "Made in Germany"—a reputation to which we contribute through our work.

Exhaust 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 "Mr. Exhaust Air." The SCHABUS exhaust air control system, registered as a utility model since 2002, was developed in cooperation with TÜV Süd in response to the new fire safety regulations and has been 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 thus meet the highest safety standards. The German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt) further confirms this with its DIBt approval.

SCHABUS - Environmental Protection & sustainability

… more than trendy marketing buzzwords:

Naturally, we manufacture in compliance with the RoHS Directive, which regulates the use of environmentally harmful substances throughout the EU, and we remain below the permissible limits wherever possible. And of course, as a manufacturer, we are also bound by the EU WEEE Directive, which regulates the valid take-back and recycling of old electrical and electronic equipment. We therefore take care of organizing and covering the costs of taking back our products from the collection point, so disposal is completely free for our customers.

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

For us, this also includes the responsible and careful use of resources, materials, and energy. Specifically, this means that we plan and design our products in such a way that even older models can be repaired in case of wear and tear or defects. This is in stark contrast to the frequently observed trend of s.g. “planned obsolescence” or the throwaway mentality of many large online retailers.

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

Lighting Division

For use in film and TV productions as well as in the trade fair and event sector, we have developed the innovative product line “Light”. & Division” developed a control system for spotlights that significantly simplifies the lighting adjustment of television studios and stages via radio or DMX.

SCHABUS - for over 30 years

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

In addition to our signaling and sensor production, we also handle cable assemblies for well-known manufacturers, including connection cables, device wiring, cable harnesses, data cables, pre-assembled single wires, and multicore connection cables. (Cannon/Schaltbau).

Water detector & Sensors

Anyone who wants to locate leaks or water intrusions in their home will find what they need in our product range, as will the professional who... z.BPotential-free contacts are required to send a warning message via a GSM module. We would be happy to advise you on what best suits your needs.

SCHABUS - corporate culture

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

Therefore, since our founding in 1992, maintaining close contact with the market, whether with professionals or private end customers, has been an integral part of our corporate culture. Only in this way can we truly understand customer needs, leading to the continuous development of new and innovative products and applications. And it is precisely this corporate culture that makes us a long-term, reliable, and dependable partner for specialist retailers, tradespeople, and local service providers.

The philosophy of “Laptop und 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, for the Bavarian way of life, which also means “mir packen's oan, mir findn da a Lösung” … i.e., a very flexible, solution-oriented basic attitude.
