Company Overview

Stabilus SE is a German motion-control technology manufacturer headquartered in Koblenz, founded in 1934 and listed on the Deutsche Börse Prime Standard within the SDAX index. The company reported approximately 8,000 employees worldwide and revenue of roughly €1.3 billion in 2025, operating dozens of production and distribution sites across multiple countries. Stabilus manufactures gas pressure springs, hydraulic dampers, electromechanical drives, and vibration isolation products marketed under brands including ACE, HAHN Gasfedern, Fabreeka, Tech Products, and General Aerospace. Its motion-control components are used across the mobility sector (including automotive tailgates, hoods, and seating), industrial machinery, automation equipment, energy infrastructure, construction equipment, healthcare equipment, leisure products, and furniture applications such as adjustable desks and cabinetry. In July 2026, Stabilus announced a strategic partnership with German robotics motion-control company Synapticon GmbH to jointly develop and mass-manufacture an integrated actuator product line for humanoid robots, covering joints from the head and wrist through the hip and knee. Under the partnership, Synapticon contributes software, functional-safety engineering, electronics, sensor design, and drive technology, while Stabilus contributes mechanical design, sourcing, industrialization, manufacturing, assembly, and logistics. The companies stated the joint product line is designed for mass production from the outset, following automotive-grade quality and production standards, with Stabilus CEO Simon Fischinger describing the goal as moving humanoid robot drivetrains "from prototype into series production" and CTO David Sabet characterizing humanoid robotics as one of the fastest-growing markets of the coming decade. This partnership extends Stabilus's decades of experience in precision motion-control hardware for the automotive and industrial sectors into the emerging humanoid and general-purpose robotics supply chain, positioning the company as a manufacturing and industrialization partner for robotics actuator programs rather than a robot builder itself. Stabilus's long-standing core business remains centered on engineered spring, damper, and actuator components rather than complete robotic systems, and the company has not published independent third-party certification details on the pages reviewed for this profile.
