Handcrafted pianos for concert artists and professional musicians worldwide
Steinway manufactures pianos using a 170-year-old craft standard, with a tech stack heavily weighted toward legacy industrial automation (Fanuc, ABB, Siemens, Allen-Bradley) and Microsoft enterprise tools—a profile typical of mid-sized precision manufacturing. Active projects reveal a company focused on dealer network expansion, post-sale service coordination, and lean manufacturing optimization, while pain points cluster around production efficiency (cycle times, bottlenecks, uptime) and dealer coverage gaps, indicating operational scaling challenges rather than technology modernization.
Steinway & Sons manufactures premium pianos from its Astoria, New York facility, serving concert artists, music educators, and amateur musicians. The company operates across sales, manufacturing, engineering, and operations, with hiring concentrated in sales roles. Core operations span production coordination, post-sale technical support (tuning and service), and dealer network development, particularly targeting the Chinese music community and institutional buyers. Manufacturing relies on industrial control systems (PLC, Fanuc, Siemens, Allen-Bradley) and CAD-based design workflows.
PLC systems, Fanuc and ABB robotics, Siemens and Allen-Bradley controllers, Siemens NX CAD, AutoCAD, and Microsoft Project for planning and coordination.
