From a century-old manor to a modern enterprise with cutting-edge technology.
Carlsson originated in Gut Wiesenhof, a historic manor with a history spanning over a century. Gut Wiesenhof witnessed Carlsson's evolution from a small workshop focusing on a single model to a large conglomerate dedicated to pioneering technological advancements. As the Hartge brothers expanded the enterprise, they also made significant contributions to the maintenance and renovation of this ancient building, for which they received a medal for historical preservation. The manor spans 25,000 square meters, situated at the border of Germany, France, and Luxembourg. The earliest records of Gut Wiesenhof date back to 1835, where the initial owner, Baron Constantin, bred exquisite racehorses. Today, this former home to Germany's distinguished racehorses has transformed into an engine testing center, an electric laboratory, and a complex dedicated to Mercedes-Benz vehicle modifications. From the Mercedes A-Class to the S-Class, Carlsson's exceptional skills and elegant designs have garnered recognition from numerous Mercedes customers.
Race-based development direction
For years, Carlsson has actively participated in various car races. Their primary goal is to relay the latest data to the engine, suspension, and brake system development departments at the earliest. Each new technology undergoes rigorous testing, with stability and reliability serving as fundamental benchmarks. For Carlsson, every customer is a winner, and the aim is to apply new data, standards, and technologies for the majority of their clientele, rather than just a few race winners.
Currently, Carlsson boasts a global distribution network, with major markets in Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America. In Germany alone, they have three regional distributors and over seventy active dealers.
