About us

About us – Lugstein Cabs GmbH

Everything from a single source. Hand-in-hand. – Our company Lugstein Cabs has been shaped by this philosophy for 75 years. Both statements can be understood as a promise to our customers and our team.

  • The production of our driver’s cabins and components from a single source has proven to be a decisive advantage for our international customers and created a positive working environment with great development potential for our team.
  • Hand-in-hand – we work with our long-standing customers and with every team member. Top products including top logistics can only be created if all areas are perfectly integrated internally and externally.

Our recipe for success: dynamism paired with consistency

We are dynamic in all areas that promote innovation, quality and safety. We rely on state-of-the-art technology and a high level of environmental awareness. In manufacturing technology, we have been regarded as an early adopter since the late 1970s, when we enabled high-end production in Austria at market prices.

We work consistently in close cooperation with our customers and are a reliable and efficient partner. Continuity is also a high value for our team, on which we build our trusting relationships with every team member at Lugstein Cabs.
