„Großer Preis des Mittelstandes / The grand prize for mid-sized businesses“

Everything from a single source - from the idea through construction, design and production to sales and distribution.


Aguti is complete supplier for all types of seating systems to the automotive industry.
By tripling the number of employees and quadrupling the sales in the last five years, the company has undergone an exemplary development. The completion of extension buildings brought along new jobs as well as apprenticeship and internship positions.


Research & Development

The Technology & Construction Department is expanded and staffed with four new positions.

New building and
relocation to Langenargen

Relocation to Langenargen on Lake Constance into the company's own premises and enlarged vehicle fleet.

QMS introduction

To ensure the quality of our products, the quality management system according to DIN EN ISO 9001 is introduced in 1997.

The products are now homologated according to ECE/EC guidelines.

Production in the greenhouse

Series production is steadily increasing and subject to continuous expansion.

How it all began

One of the first seat belt-integrated motorhome seats are created in a greenhouse in Kressbronn.


The company becomes the "Aguti Produktentwicklung & Design GmbH" and moves from Mindelheim to Kressbronn. There, a greenhouse is converted into a production hall, where the first seats for "Knaus" are developed and produced with a handful of laborers.

Other motorhome manufacturers quickly catch on to the young company and the small, regional family business quickly develops into an internationally-operating business.
