The Stabilus Group is recognized as a global expert in high-quality motion control solutions. Products such as gas springs, dampers, electromechanical actuators, and grippers for automation are used in a wide range of applications and industries. Whether it’s a mass-produced product, a small-batch item, or a custom-manufactured component, the solutions offered by the Group—which comprises six expert brands—prove their quality and reliability with every single movement, day in and day out.

The Right Gas Spring for Every Application and Every Order Quantity

This also applies to gas springs. This is one of the product areas in which Stabilus has worked its way to the top of the global market since its founding in 1934. When it comes to gas springs, the group serves as a competent, globally operating partner—with four specialized brands based in Germany and subsidiaries around the world—offering a total of nearly 700,000 product variants.

The range of applications for gas spring customers extends beyond the lifting, lowering, opening, and closing of objects in the automotive and commercial vehicle sectors. In addition to their use in swivel chairs, they are employed in other segments of the furniture market as well as in industrial plants, mechanical engineering, and the medical, aerospace, and defense sectors. In addition, gas springs from the Stabilus Group are popular components in construction and building technology, construction machinery, RVs and trailers, as well as in specialty vehicle manufacturing. They move, hold, and dampen movement everywhere. They assist human muscle power and are indispensable wherever hoods, flaps, hatches, doors, and other structural components need to be moved safely and comfortably into defined end positions.

The Stabilus Motion Control Ecosystem

As varied as the requirements for gas spring-controlled movements are across different applications and markets, the Stabilus Group is equally flexible in its response and positioning. Instead of a single distribution channel, the company offers diverse pathways to customers. These are integrated into a unified motion control ecosystem that connects the specialized brands ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH, HAHN Gasfedern GmbH, Stabilus, and General Aerospace GmbH, along with their engineering expertise and business models.

For example, if customers need gas springs for industrial applications and customized system consulting, the expert brand ACE delivers small- to medium-volume orders featuring valve technology for customized force adjustment—available as catalog items immediately from stock—and prototypes within 24 hours. HAHN Gasfedern GmbH manufactures products for customers ranging from a single unit to large-scale production, always tailored to specific customer requirements—and with short lead times. This expert brand is also a leader in the field of stainless steel and in special solutions, such as when high- and low-temperature seals, seals for heavy-duty applications in construction machinery, protective tubes, or other extras are required. For decades, Stabilus has been providing customers with high-quality gas springs as OEM and mass-production solutions thanks to its large-scale manufacturing, global presence, and automotive-industry quality standards. And when customers are looking for custom-made, certified gas springs for safety-critical applications in the aerospace industry, they’ll find what they need within the Stabilus Group at General Aerospace GmbH.

Together, these four expert brands—along with their highly capable technical and sales teams—form an integrated system serving a wide range of industries and motion requirements,including application engineering and customized system consulting.
