TRADITION
60 years on the right track
More than 60 years ago, Walter and Heidi Mauser founded Walter Mauser GmbH. They began as a workshop producing weather canopies for tractors, but the company has grown into a high-precision manufacturer of safety cabs. Now the family business has around 300 employees and is highly successful in international markets.

60 years
In 2020 we celebrated our 60th anniversary. Since 1960 we have made a name for stability, pioneering spirit and future visions – in development of cabs but also in the way we run our family business.
2018
Farewell
In March 2018 we had to say goodbye to the company founder Walter Mauser, who died at the age of 80.
In him we lost a great economic and social pioneer who left a deep and lasting impression on the Austrian business community.

Steady growth
CAB-404 and CAB-505 are followed by many more cab variants for use with all kinds of different utility vehicles.
1970s
CAB-404
The best-selling retrofit cabs in Austria are Types CAB-404 (narrow) and CAB-505 (wide). These models are thoroughly tested and certified under the OECD standard. At times in the 70s, the demand for these cabs outstrips our production capacity.
1966
Development of the SK-300
The ‘super cab’ 300, with its tip-up windscreen, is a breakthrough in roll protection. It is the basis of all the later cab designs.
from 1964

First successes
The Mauser weather canopies become an essential piece of equipment on Austrian tractors. The factory is running at full capacity.
