WÖHR Autoparksysteme
Who we are
Since 1959, our focus has been on intelligent parking solutions. As a family-run company, we are proud to offer the world’s largest product range for parking systems. Our expertise ranges from traditional double-decker stacking systems to automatic parking systems for large-scale projects with upwards of 1,000 parking spaces. Demand for our systems is growing constantly at a time when urbanization and lack of space are critical issues. Our customers appreciate our reliable and competent products tailored to their individual requirements. As urban densification increases, parking also needs to be densified to create as many spots as possible in a minimal amount of space while also preserving the cityscape.
Our company specializes in bespoke, project-related solutions. We focus on sustainability in parking and are developing increasingly compact parking solutions to make room for public or green spaces. In this way, we are making a proactive contribution to improving quality of life. Our 300 or so employees work in two plants at our main site in Friolzheim, which accommodates not only our production facility but also our administration, development and design departments as well as our subsidiary, PGS Parking- und Garagen-Service GmbH.
