The Ludwig Steurer machines and Seilbahnbau GmbH & Co KG is a cable car construction company in the town of Doren in the district of Bregenz in Vorarlberg .
history
The Steurer company was founded in 1924 as a forge by Ludwig Steurer and from the 1930s onwards, his son Johann Steurer expanded it into a renowned ropeway technology company. The company has been building material ropeways since 1926 .
In 1947 Steurer built the Grabs chairlift in Tschagguns in the Montafon (dismantled in 2008), making the company the first commercial chairlift manufacturer in Austria. In the 1950s, in addition to the construction of chair lifts and drag lifts, the Bezau-Sonderdach aerial tramway was also built . In the 1970s, the Steurer company added weather protection covers to chairlifts for the first time. Since 1991, funiculars and inclined elevators have been supplementing the company's cableway technology program, and since 1993 with the SHB cable car, a patented detachable transport and logistics system. To date, Steurer has built several hundred cable cars and is still active in cable car construction today, with aerial tramways being built almost exclusively .
Steurer has had its own branch in Switzerland since 2009.
