Dlouhy Fahrzeugbau is an Austrian company based in Vienna and Tulln that uses vehicle conversions to manufacture special vehicles, primarily for rescue services and other blue light organizations . The company was founded in 1869 as a wagon factory in the 16th district of Vienna and has been family-owned since then. With around 150 employees, it generates sales of around 18 million euros per year and converts around 800 vehicles per year. The vehicles are exported to many countries.
history
The company was founded in 1869 as a wagon factory in Vienna 16 and was taken over by Anton Dlouhy, the great-grandfather of today's company boss, before the turn of the century. Since then, the company has been 100% family-owned. In the 1920s, the first wooden car bodies were made, and later metal versions.
In 1964, the current senior boss, Karl Dlouhy, took over the management of the company. After setting up a new facility in Kuffnergasse / Eisnergasse in Vienna 16 - today's location in Vienna - the company has made a name for itself in the field of emergency vehicle construction since 1970.
In 1983 the company received state recognition for good form for the Puch G - ambulance body, in 1989 the state award followed with the permission to use the national coat of arms. In 1990, in cooperation with customers, the first carbon carrier chair was developed, which - gradually further developed and adapted - has been able to maintain its successful position on the market to this day. In 1992, the current managing director, Martin Dlouhy, joined the management team and, in an ongoing process, took over management from his father. A year later, the property in Tulln was acquired and production started. The company has had its own plastics department since 1994, where v. a. the interior linings of the rescue service vehicles can be produced using our own systems.
In an initial expansion phase in 1995, the foundation stone for today's production facilities at the headquarters was laid in Tulln. The expansion was continued in 1999/2000 with the construction of a warehouse and office complex and in 2004/2005 with the construction of a new production hall. In 2006 the two locations in Vienna and Tulln were merged into one company and now appear as Dlouhy GmbH with two branches. In 2009/2010, the Tulln location was expanded to include a new production and storage hall. In 2017 a new hall and storage area were put into operation again.
Development
In the company's own construction department, new products are developed and the equipment of a wide variety of vehicles is planned in advance. Thanks to our own mold and prototype construction, we are able to develop new series products as well as optimize them again and again and adapt them to new requirements. A large network of partners and suppliers guarantees that we are constantly working on the implementation of new ideas.
safety
Numerous test procedures are carried out with our own systems for static and dynamic tests in close cooperation with TÜV and Magna International . The experience and results from these tests are incorporated into the installations and modifications to optimize safety.
production
As a vehicle manufacturer, the company specializes in unusual bodywork and complex interior design. Therefore it is possible to build all vehicles according to the individual customer requirements in order to ensure optimal use in later use. Parts of the interior - v. a. in the case of emergency services vehicles - but are manufactured in series with the help of the most modern technologies in modular construction in order to be able to offer an optimal price-performance ratio .
