Many great stories start with a young pioneer in his small garage, including that of ProLux Managing Director Georg Windeisen. While working as a tow truck driver, he lost a rare tool for opening incorrectly parked cars. Being technically adept, he produces the opening tool himself without further delay - and thus the business idea and the company were born.

Together with 3 employees, Georg Windeisen succeeds in steadily expanding the company. Ongoing product range expansions and product innovations also make it possible to move into the first company premises Am Schinderwasen 7 in Blaustein.

ProLux is now a regional service partner of Bott GmbH & Co. KG. As a result, the area of vehicle and operating equipment is growing in importance and is becoming part of the strategy of a "systems provider".

It is ProLux's ambition to provide the customer with the maximum possible range of products and services. Therefore, in addition to towing accessories, other core competences are developed and the expansion abroad gains in importance. The company is renamed ProLux Systemtechnik GmbH & Co. KG.

The company area is doubled by an extension.

The office space is expanded again by an extension of 100 m² and the warehouse space by 200 m².

Products and expertise in the field of vehicle transport are obtained through the acquisition of the company CARTRATEC.

By acquiring this company, a supplier of high-visibility and workwear, ProLux increases its expertise in the development of new high-visibility clothing concepts. At the same time, in addition to towing services, other target groups such as workshops and craft businesses are also being attracted.

The company's growth leads to an expansion of the company's floor space by 150% through the purchase of the neighbouring building at Lindenstraße 15.

The purchase of the long-standing French dealer and competitor Pro Equipement is an opportunity to gain new customer contacts. France is becoming the strongest export country for towing technology.

Through the partnership with werbeland®, ProLux is able to access a nationwide network of advertising technicians and labelling professionals. This generates new business contacts, increases the service for customers and enhances the competences in the field of advertising concepts.

ProLux achieves further development competencies in the field of commercial vehicles through the acquisition of the supplier KompLED Light Systems. The company continues as a subsidiary with independent production at the location Lindenstraße 15.

Over the years, the core business of towing accessories has been steadily expanded to include other services. ProLux now develops complete solutions in the form of advertising concepts, workwear and vehicle equipment using the name "ProLux Principle". Under the guiding principle of "everything from a single source", the idea of the systems provider also takes centre stage here.

There is another expansion with an additional 200m² of office space and commercial space in the location at Lindenstraße 13.

Through the appointment of authorised signatories, responsibility is divided into business areas. In addition to Wilhelm Schaaf in the Purchasing & Logistics department, the owner and Managing Director Georg Windeisen is now supported by Roswitha Erath in the Finance & Controlling department and Mario Hofer in Marketing & Sales

By now, 100 employees and sales partners throughout Europe supply and advise more than 15 countries with towing solutions. Ongoing expansion has made ProLux the European market leader in this field - even after 25 years in business. The services in the field of advertising concepts, corporate clothing and vehicle equipment continue to complement the all-round service for customers.

For the initial certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 quality management and environmental management, all work processes are analyzed and structured. Thus, ProLux can continue a consistent and sustainable quality of products and services.
