About us
Who we are
LUNOS Lüftungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG für Raumluftsysteme is a Berlin-based company founded in 1959 – originally known as LUNOS Lüftung – which grew out of the family business run by the building contractor and architect Benno Schöttler. From 1949 onwards, he had manufactured ventilation shafts and blocks, before subsequently focusing on the development of small fans for residential use.Even before changing its name, the company launched its first fan on the market in 1952 - thus laying the foundation for the successful development of the following decades. This was followed as early as 1960 by the sale of the first passive fresh air diffuser made of plastic. The in-house planning and development office was responsible for new developments, so that, among other things, the first axial fan for active ventilation was launched on the market in 1965 and the first radial fan for the home in 1974. The latter still forms the basis of all radial fans on the market today. As early as the 1980s, both axial and centrifugal fans were available with closed inner shrouds, a component that had not existed at all in the competition before and is now standard regardless of the manufacturer.
Core competencies of LUNOS
The company's core competencies lie in controlled decentralized home ventilation with and without heat recovery, as well as in the development and manufacture of sustainable, energy-efficient fans and outer wall air vents optimized for sound insulation.
For decades, LUNOS has stood for the highest quality, functionality, and comfort. Ventilation systems, whether with or without heat recovery, whether in new buildings or renovations, improve the air quality in houses or apartments, preventing moisture and mold while saving energy in everyday life.
Made in Germany
LUNOS is a medium-sized company and also the market leader for decentralized home ventilation systems with and without heat recovery. These include, for example, the e² model — the first fan with heat recovery that went into series production in 2011. With a team of around 100 people, the company develops and manufactures its innovative products regionally in Berlin-Spandau and at its plant in Falkensee, thus remaining true to the principle of in-house development and production in Germany. True to the motto “Made in Germany”, LUNOS exports its ventilators all over the world.
