German manufacturer of awnings, terrace covers, and outdoor shading systems
Erhardt Markisenbau is a mid-sized manufacturer of sun protection and outdoor living products based in Bavaria, operating since 1980. The tech stack (Salesforce, SolidWorks, Adobe Creative Suite, SharePoint) reflects a manufacturing business with design-heavy workflows and early-stage CRM adoption. Current hiring velocity is accelerating with 7 roles posted in the last 30 days—concentrated in sales (8 open positions across mid and manager levels)—while pain points cluster around dealer network expansion and customer data quality, signaling a shift from direct sales toward a B2B channel strategy.
Erhardt Markisenbau manufactures awnings (Markisen), terrace covers (Terrassendächer), glass sliding systems, and integrated shading solutions for residential and commercial outdoor spaces. Headquartered in Burtenbach between Ulm and Augsburg, the company employs approximately 200 people and produces all major components in-house to meet European standards and CE certification requirements. Products are sold through a combination of direct channels and an expanding B2B dealer network across Germany and Austria. The business emphasizes technical design expertise, field testing, and long-term partnerships with installer networks and trade partners.
