Magirus

Magirus offers a comprehensive portfolio in the field of firefighting and disaster control – from firefighting and special vehicles to turntable ladders, pumps, components & systems, customer service, and after-sales. Founded in 1864 and headquartered in Ulm, Germany, the company generates annual revenues of over EUR 300 million and employs around 1,300 people at its locations in Germany, Italy, Austria, and France. Magirus is active in more than 70 countries worldwide. Its most important customers include municipal fire departments and public institutions, industrial companies, and airport operators.

With the integration of Achleitner Fahrzeugbau, a leading supplier of protected special vehicles and modular security solutions, Magirus is expanding its offering in the areas of defense, law enforcement, and tactical emergency vehicles. This add-on strengthens the company’s expertise in the development and manufacture of highly mobile special vehicles and expands the depth of value creation within the group.

Strategy

Magirus is focusing on the sustainable improvement of its production processes, supply chain structures, and global service capabilities in order to increase profitability and operational efficiency. At the same time, the company remains committed to its role as a technological pioneer, particularly in the areas of digital operational support, autonomous driving in operational environments, and the electrification of selected product lines.

In the future, Magirus will continue to expand its geographical reach and tap into new adjacent market segments. The acquisition of Achleitner serves as a strategic add-on to expand the existing portfolio in the civil rescue and fire protection market with professional solutions for security and defense-related applications, thereby strengthening its international market position in the long term.
