The Company

Horgau plant

Production location Germany

LEINER is a company that is characterized by innovation, highest quality, and flexibility. We are combining 140 years know-how in the metal-structure sector with consistent enhancements and new product developments.
We have definitely opted for the production location Germany. Almost 100 employees are producing for the German and international market in Horgau/Bavaria on more than 12,000 m² for production, storage, and administration. Since the 1970s it is LEINER’s core competence to develop and manufacture beautiful and first-class awnings. Something special are our custom-built rain protection solutions: the SUNRAIN awning offers completely new possibilities to private users and gastronomy as well.
