Our company history

Together with 3 employees, Georg Windeisen succeeds in steadily expanding the company. Ongoing additions to the product range and product innovations also enable the company to move to its first premises at Am Schinderwasen 7 in Blaustein.

ProLux is now a regional service partner of Bott GmbH & Co. KG. As a result, the area of vehicle and operating equipment gains in importance and becomes part of the “system supplier” concept.

ProLux’s aim is to provide customers with the widest possible range of products and services. Therefore, in addition to towing accessories, other core competencies are developed and expansion abroad becomes increasingly important. The company is renamed ProLux Systemtechnik GmbH & Co. KG.

An extension doubles the operating area.

The office space is again extended by 100 m² and the storage area by 200 m².

Products and expertise for the vehicle transportation sector are added through the acquisition of CARTRATEC.

By acquiring this long-standing supplier of high-visibility and work clothing, ProLux is increasing its expertise in the development of new high-visibility clothing concepts. At the same time, in addition to towing services, other target groups such as garages and workshops are also being tapped into.

The company’s growth leads to a 150% expansion of the company premises with the purchase of the building at Lindenstrasse 15 in the immediate vicinity.

The purchase of the long-standing French dealer and competitor Pro Equipement is an opportunity to gain new customer contacts. France is becoming the strongest export country for towing technology.

The partnership with werbeland® enables ProLux to access a nationwide network of advertising technicians and lettering professionals. This generates new business contacts, increases service for customers and enhances expertise in the area of advertising concepts.

In the commercial vehicle sector, ProLux gains further development expertise through the acquisition of the supplier Komp.LED Light Systems. The company is continued as a sister company with independent production at the Lindenstraße 15 site.

Over the years, the core business of towing accessories has been steadily expanded to include additional services. Under the name “ProLux Principle”, ProLux now develops complete solutions in the form of advertising concepts, workwear and vehicle equipment. The idea of the system supplier is also in the foreground here under the guiding principle “everything from a single source”.

There is a further expansion with an additional 200m² of office space and commercial space at the Lindenstrasse 13 location.

By appointing authorized signatories, responsibility is divided into business areas. In addition to Wilhelm Schaaf in the Purchasing & Logistics division, the owner and Managing Director Georg Windeisen is now supported by Roswitha Erath in the Finance & Controlling division and Mario Hofer for Marketing & Sales.

100 employees and sales partners throughout Europe now supply and advise more than 15 countries with towing solutions. Continuous expansion has made ProLux the European market leader in this segment – even after 25 years in the business. Services in the areas of advertising concepts, corporate clothing and vehicle equipment continue to complete the all-round service for customers.

For the initial certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality management and environmental management, all work processes are analyzed and structured. As a result, ProLux continues to promise consistent and sustainable product and service quality.

After more than 20 years of continuous growth as a department within ProLux Systemtechnik GmbH & Co. KG, advertising technology now becomes an independent company. This enables ProLux Werbetechnik GmbH to position itself more clearly in the region and to develop further as a competent partner for advertising and corporate image.

In January 2024, we expanded our portfolio with the strategic acquisition of Real Garant Shop. With a focus on efficient business organization, high-quality workshop supplies and individual advertising materials, we offer tailor-made solutions for car dealerships, workshops and industrial companies. The company is based in Blaustein and will continue to operate at the Köngen site.
