KOHLHAUER - Company

ABOUT US

KOHLHAUER – LEADING THE WAY IN NOISE CONTROL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY

Kohlhauer GmbH, based in Gaggenau, is one of the leading service providers for noise control and environmental protection technology in Germany and Europe.

As market-shaping specialists, we develop and produce noise control elements with an added value for the environment, climate and resource utilization.

Innovative products, such as KOHLHAUER SCORSA®, KOHLHAUER ALUFERA®, KOHLHAUER PLANTA®, KOHLHAUER VOLTA® and many more, stand for forward-looking developments and sustainable thinking that characterize our cooperation with municipalities, architects, engineers and fabricators.

KOHLHAUER combines innovative ideas and site-specific resources to create an efficient network. This is how noise barriers are created that are tailored to the needs of our customers and produced at all locations in line with KOHLHAUER’s quality commitment to high German quality standards.

SPECIALISTS FOR NOISE PROTECTION WITH ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Noise, the perception of sound as a burden, is a worldwide environmental problem. Noise levels caused by ever-increasing road and rail traffic, but also by other sources, reduce the quality of life and cause damage to health.

At KOHLHAUER, we are doing something about it. And at the same time, we seize the opportunities that noise protection measures additionally offer. For us, the multifunctionality of the noise barrier is a key that will give this form of environmental protection a new meaning in the future. This includes, for example, energy generation through solar technology and noise protection solutions that can be planted and thus improve the climate. Transparent noise abatement concepts are available for the protection of urban areas, and technologically, lattice insulation systems are opening up new perspectives. We invite you to shape this exciting development together with us.

EVOLUTION OF SILENCE

As a partner to our customers as well as to the federal, state and local governments, our goal is to single-mindedly push back and overcome the boundaries of conventional noise control. To this end, as technology specialists, we are enthusiastically conquering new fields. At the same time, we create areas in which our customers’ success can safely grow, quality of life flourishes and the environment is better protected thanks to our commitment. We use our innovative strength and pioneering spirit to create forward-looking noise protection elements whose additional benefits generate added value all over the world. Noise protection from KOHLHAUER is in a class of its own – environmentally conscious, sustainable and highly functional.

QUALITY PROVIDER FOR SUSTAINABLE NOISE PROTECTION

As an innovation driver and solution provider, KOHLHAUER convinces with a technical level that often sets new standards. Together with the customer, projects are comprehended holistically at a very early stage and individually solved in a forward-looking manner. Decades of experience as specialists in noise control, a unique pool of knowledge and our performance strength as developers help us to achieve this goal. Improving quality of life , protecting the climate and the environment is what drives us.. We provide effective support where we are needed with solutions that move things forward.

For example:

Development of elements that reduce pollutants at the same time
Graffiti defense measures that reduce damage caused by defacement
Design expertise for special aesthetic requirements (BIM)
System solutions for curved noise barriers
Innovative materials for sustainability and efficiency
New financing models for noise barriers, including integrated photovoltaics

PARTNERSHIP WITH
ADDED VALUE

In our cooperation with tendering entities, municipalities, public authorities, architects, construction companies or the highway companies, we rely on constructive cooperation. Whether it’s a question of environmental issues, aesthetic standards, design diversity, cost-effectiveness, planning aids or logistics and execution – you can rely on our word. This is in line with our philosophy, because instead of “sales at any price,” we build on long-term partnerships based on trust.

SUSTAINABILITY AS A COMMON TASK

We develop, plan and produce innovative noise control solutions that protect against the daily noise in our society. But sustainability also includes protecting resources and creating a an environment that is conducive to life. We take responsibility for this, for example

we cover a relevant part of our energy consumption with electricity from our own generation
our product development and manufacturing is geared towards complete recyclability of the products
KOHLHAUER products can provide effective additional benefits such as energy generation or air pollution control
our production in Germany avoids long distances and the associated emissions. Last but not least, we secure jobs and strengthen the infrastructure in the region.
