Two generations in Gais.
Craftsmanship in the Gewerbegebiet an der Ahr industrial area. Design, manufacturing and installation stay in-house.
A small company where the same people design, make and install. Founded in Karl Hecher's workshop, now with Martin Hecher as the second generation.
The company's historyWho designs your staircase
A small company where the same people design, make and install.
Martin Hecher
He represents the second generation in the company and is the first point of contact for most projects. He measures on site, designs the staircase and coordinates with the architect and other trades. He is there for the installation too.
He has also introduced the company's newer areas of work: new staircase designs, computer-aided planning and furniture making.

Karl Hecher
He built the business and still works in the workshop today. His benchmark for every project: sound craftsmanship and a clear assessment from the outset.
Everything under one roof
Manufacturing takes place in the Gewerbegebiet an der Ahr industrial area in Gais. Whoever designed the staircase sees it take shape in the workshop and is there when it is installed.
We also produce our own solid wood floorboards from local larch and spruce. The flooring to match the stairs therefore comes from the same company.

Five steps
The process is the same for a staircase in a family home as for a hotel project. What differs is the lead time: for new builds, design starts at the structural stage; for renovations, often only a few weeks before installation.
01 · Consultation
On site or at our workshop in Gais. We assess what is possible and give an initial price indication.
02 · Design
Site measurements and detailed design, coordinated with the other trades. This is where timber, finish and balustrade choices are made.
03 · Manufacturing
Made in our own workshop in Gais.
04 · Installation
Installation on the agreed date by our own team.
05 · Aftercare
Hecher remains your point of contact after installation.
The right time
For a new build, it pays to get in touch early, while structural changes are still possible. The stairwell opening, a load-bearing wall for cantilever stairs and the floor build-up all help determine which designs are available.
Timing is more flexible in renovations. The main priority is to coordinate the flooring and stairs.
- Access to the site for measurements
- Timber and finish choices before manufacturing
- An installation date that fits the progress of the build
- A point of contact if an architect is involved
Our workshop is open.
