About Sehner Precision Display Cases
Sehner Precision Display Cases is a German company based in Deckenpfronn, Baden-Württemberg, that has been developing and manufacturing custom display cases and individual solutions in glass, metal and wood since 1970. The portfolio includes museum display cases, security display cases with burglar-resistant locking technology, all-glass, wall, table and special display cases, depot cabinets, retail display cases for brand spaces, and integrated climate and microclimate technology with active, passive or combined humidity control and air filtration. In-house metal and wood workshops, modern CAD planning and a systematised manufacturing process combine traditional craftsmanship with industrial precision; the self-developed modular connection system versioX (3D hinge) enables flexible realisation of display case and exhibition constructions. Projects such as 40 museum display cases for the Stabi Kulturwerk of the Berlin State Library or a floating security display case for a historic gold tea service of the State Palaces, Gardens and Art Collections of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern demonstrate the company's focus on conservation protection requirements, lighting integration and architectural integration. The main site in Deckenpfronn serves Germany, Austria and Switzerland; via sales partners, Sehner is also present in France, Italy, Greece, Norway, Egypt and the Middle East.
