“Here to Stay”
The Vienna-based investor group Aeiphoria Capital consists of founders Dr. Thomas Maidorfer, Felix Porsche and Martin Wodak. Founded in 2021 and specializing in mobility and life sciences, the private equity firm can look back on numerous investment, real estate and strategic projects with a total investment volume of around 150 million euros. With their entrepreneurial experience, particularly in performance and transformation, the new owners, together with Seisenbacher's management, want to create an innovative, sustainable technology company for the rail sector. “We're here to stay. At our site in Lower Austria, we are planning to further develop the product portfolio towards innovative complete solutions,” announced Maidorfer. The Äiphoria team sees investment as the basis for a long-term entrepreneurial partnership.

“On the road to smart hardware on the train”
At its headquarters in Ybbsitz near Waidhofen, Seisenbacher GmbH is already developing innovative products for the rail transport of the future. The innovations include, for example, a globally unique system for passenger safety, which is integrated into the train interior — a table system called CATS (Crash Absorbing Table System). In the event of a collision, the table system is designed to absorb impact energy and reduce the risk of injury to passengers to a minimum. In the future, specialists will develop even more interior solutions for trains. On the way to introducing intelligent train equipment, Seisenbacher is building on its established quality leadership among customers. In close cooperation with manufacturers, comprehensive solutions for the interior of wagons are developed. In view of the innovation campaign, the over 80-year-old company will invest more in research and development. In addition
In its core interior business, the company should develop even more towards passive safety and sustainability.

“In view of the renaissance of the railways, we see great growth opportunities for our company in the intensified fight against climate change.”
The new owners and management see great business opportunities for Seisenbacher. This is because the importance of rail for sustainable mobility is growing in Europe and North America. With the Green Deal, the EU has initiated a turnaround in mobility. The governments in Austria and Germany are already massively pushing ahead with the expansion, modernization and attractiveness of the railways. In order to establish rail as the preferred mode of transport for customers, it is crucial to tailor the interior design of trains to the needs, comfort and safety of passengers. The high-quality and sustainable interior solutions from Seisenbacher help to meet this requirement. In view of the increasing importance of railways as an environmentally friendly option in the fight against climate change, new investors see considerable growth potential for the company.
