About Eschenbach
Eschenbach is a family-owned company in temporary architecture founded in 1972, headquartered in Bad Königshofen (Bavaria). The company manufactures tent and hall systems in modular construction for events, storage, production, retail and special applications, with spans of 3 to 50 m and a rental fleet of over 250,000 m². Production takes place entirely in Germany: at the Bad Königshofen headquarters and in Schkeuditz (Leipzig), steel and aluminium frames, floors, stairs and railings are produced; in Mühlau (Chemnitz) and Ludwigsfelde (Berlin), the in-house saddlery manufactures tent cladding and technical confection from PVC and textile materials using hot-wedge, high-frequency and hot-air welding processes. An in-house engineering department produces structural calculations and drawings, while the advertising department handles digital printing and lettering. The offering is rounded out by logistics, installation and dismantling, cleaning, maintenance and repair, as well as equipment such as flooring systems, gates, climate control, lighting and event furniture. References include the Winter Games 2026, the UEFA EURO 2024, ALDI SÜD, Deutsche Bahn, Liebherr and the Bayreuth Festival.
