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 even more precise and future-proof in order to meet customer expectations, offer our employees a safe workplace and prepare our locations for future challenges.

We have been manufacturing 100% in Gummersbach since 1965. The Bergisches Land region has always 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 distributed and delivered worldwide. These locations combine modern technology, decades of experience and high quality standards – the foundation for quality, safe lifting and transporting of loads of all kinds.

Production Overhead Cranes and Cpmponents

The ABUS founding and main 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 KranLabor

Our product development 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 Heavy 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 manufacturing hundreds of overhead cranes with high spans and a load capacity of up to 120 t, as well as hoists and components, here every year. The ABUS KranHaus, a unique exhibition and seminar centre, is also located at this site.

Production Lightweight Crane System HB and Logistics Centre

In Marienheide-Rodt, everything revolves around our light cranes. Jib cranes and chain hoists are manufactured and assembled here, and suspension monorail systems are put together.
