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.
