Made in Germany
We have always manufactured our products in Germany. All materials are closely monitored at each stage of production and form the basis for long-lasting functionality and a long service life of our products.
Responsibility
With our core values of continuity, reliability and quality awareness, we actively take on responsibility for the satisfaction of our customers, suppliers and employees.
Our philosophy
“Our mission is to offer the safest and most convenient solution for all kinds of entrance doors. And we are able to do so thanks to our 165 years of experience and our passion for developing systematised, user-oriented locking systems. We live and breathe our values as an independent, family-run company through our business partners, employees and our environment.”
Andreas Fuhr, Managing Director
We are:
independent and family-run
As an owner-operated family company with 300 employees in Germany and abroad, FUHR stands for reliable service and a close, partnership-based relationship with our customers. Through this and our focus on door security, we are able to successfully maintain and grow our market position, even while in competition with international groups.
We build on continuity and trust: this is reflected in our long-lasting collaboration with our suppliers, customers, business partners and employees. Our trusting cooperation with many of them has already spanned decades.
Sustainable development and company modernisation have always been guiding principles for the owner family.
We are:
innovators
Our product range is packed full of ingenious design and innovation. And it’s not just security and convenience that are important: modularity and sustainability are becoming more and more significant in our product developments. That’s why at FUHR, we focus on system concepts and develop user-oriented solutions that are perfectly tailored to aluminium, steel, plastic and timber materials.
With smart ideas and specialist know-how, we work tirelessly to make door locks more intelligent. Our latest automatic locking systems with DuoSecure technology offer our customers possibilities of use and security standards that have never been seen before in this product sector.
We are:
faithful to our roots
FUHR has been based in the lock and fittings hub of Heiligenhaus since 1859. All of our locking systems are still developed and manufactured at our headquarters in the city where the company was founded by Carl Fuhr. Heiligenhaus is also the base for all of our sales activities.
FUHR supports various initiatives dedicated to building security and is an active member of the German industry association for locks and related hardware, the FSVB.
Our hometown of Heiligenhaus holds a special place in our heart. That’s why we are so active in the local community with charitable projects, supporting local education and promoting a skilled workforce. As an established employer, we have a particular responsibility for our local area and workers within the region. That’s why FUHR is a founding and board member of Schlüsselregion e.V., the industrial association for lock and security technology in Heiligenhaus and Velbert. Together with over 220 other member companies, we take part in all kinds of projects, including social projects, environmental projects, initiatives to secure skilled personnel and projects to boost the local economy.
