We create inspiring spaces that bring knowledge to life, invite visitors to spend time with information, and encourage reflection – multi-sensory places for vivid interactions.
With our passion for innovation, we develop, build and market media and museum technology products that combine the highest levels of quality and functionality.
Our mission is to design high-quality spaces that are aesthetically pleasing, leave a lasting impression, and create special experiences. To achieve this, we employ creativity and modern technology to develop products that tell stories in various ways. We combine haptic, visual and auditory elements for a fully immersive experience. Our customers include museums, galleries and other exhibition spaces, as well as libraries and other high-quality recreational “third spaces”. Our products are also perfect for all indoor and outdoor areas where interactions take place.
molitor products can be integrated into a range of compositions and provide reliable support for spaces that appeal to the senses and enable multi-sensory learning experiences.
We are continuously working on sustainable and inclusive solutions. At our location in Berlin, we foster local and trusting partnerships with small and medium-sized companies in the region in order to act as sustainably as possible and to strengthen our local business location.
We are continuously expanding our worldwide distribution network and seeking to collaborate with companies that share our vision of creating good and inspiring places with products that are ecologically sound and well developed. We have a strong, international team that works in an interdisciplinary manner. Together, we develop ideas and pursue our goals in close dialogue with our customers.
molitor produkte was founded in 2025 as an independent spin-off of molitor, which was founded in 2001 by Martin Müller and Michael Zeyfang († 2022).
With the aim to realise exhibitions and art projects. Both partners also acted as managing directors.
In 2007, architect Marco Unterhaslberger joined the company as the third managing partner. With him, the company’s range of services expanded to include design.
In 2010, molitor began to develop its own products for exhibitions – solutions that had previously been missing from the market. The initial result was the USO handset, which was marketed by the company the following year as a series product. Since then, the company’s product range has been continuously expanding and molitor handsets are now a classic addition to media stations around the world.
In 2024, Marco Unterhaslberger left the company; Liz Müller joined as a partner in February 2024, following a successful ten-year career in sales.
In 2025, molitor divided into two companies: the newly founded molitor produkte GmbH emerged as a separate entity to molitor GmbH under the management of Liz Müller. The two companies moved together from the Berlin district of Kreuzberg to Prenzlauer Berg, where they now occupy a light-flooded floor at Storkower Str. 115 that is shared with the cross-media cooking platform Kitchen Stories.
The new location offers the perfect space for creative work and dialogue. molitor embraces a work culture based on diversity, flexibility, solidarity and cultural variety – because great ideas come from working together.
Sustainability is very important to us and a central part of our business practices. As a medium-sized company, we systematically analyse and optimise our working structures and production processes so as to continually reduce our impact on the environment. To date, we have implemented the following measures:
Our products have a particularly long lifespan thanks to their robust and hard-wearing design. Even in the event of damage caused by vandalism, we are able to carry out most repairs in our workshop. We ensure years of use through the long-term availability of spare parts, thus saving resources and reducing unnecessary new purchases.
We minimise our environmental footprint by manufacturing our handsets in-house. With 85 percent of our semi-manufactured products coming from Berlin and surrounding Brandenburg, we consciously focus on regional value creation. By partnering with companies in our area, we not only shorten transport routes, but also strengthen the regional economy. The short distances also enable particularly close partnerships and guarantee the highest quality standards.
In our manufacturing processes, we focus on streamlined procedures and making maximum use of materials to significantly reduce waste and scrap. We are also continuously evaluating the potential use of recycled plastics, for example in our handsets.
Our production chains are almost fully traceable. We choose our suppliers carefully and foster long-term partnerships.
We operate as efficiently as possible with regard to materials and energy, and are continually perfecting our manufacturing processes in pursuit of this goal. It is important to us to make maximum use of our materials and to manufacture products in a way that produces as little waste or scrap as possible. When selecting materials, we look for certifications that guarantee environmental friendliness and safety. We participate in the WEEE and RoHS processes and our products have CE certification.
We use extraction and filter systems to minimise pollutants during the assembly process.
We are continually investing in research into innovative and alternative solutions to make our products and processes even more sustainable.
Our packaging solutions are material-efficient and use environmentally friendly cardboard. We avoid foil printing by using stamped product designations and we reduce packaging material by reusing fill materials.
Our VIA handset is an expression of our commitment to sustainability. During its development, we placed great emphasis on durable materials. The housing of the VIA is made of polyamide, a robust thermoplastic material that is injection molded. Thanks to its thermoplastic properties, polyamide is fully recyclable. It can be processed into new granulate, heated and used to manufacture new products. In addition, the flexible tube of the handset is made of stainless steel. This extremely hard-wearing metal is also recyclable and offers maximum durability.
Our location has excellent public transport links, so fewer than five percent of our employees use their cars to get to work. The digitalisation of our processes also helps to conserve resources – but at the same time, we are taking care to minimise our digital carbon footprint.
We believe in innovation that serves people and the environment alike – today and for generations to come. We are therefore always looking for ways to improve and make an even greater contribution to environmental protection and sustainability.
molitor is committed to inclusion and accessibility – ensuring that everyone can enjoy unrestricted access to content in exhibitions, museums and public spaces.
Our solutions are based on multi-sensory approaches that take into account different learning and cognitive needs. For us, inclusion means preparing information so that it can be experienced via sight, sound and touch.
Our products for more inclusive participation:
We develop audio stations and tactile stations that allow people with visual impairments to explore exhibition content intuitively and independently. With our acoustic solutions, we want to offer an extension to purely visual experiences.
Our stations combine handsets and headphones with haptic elements so that information can be accessed via multiple senses. This creates a barrier-free experience that actively implements inclusion – for more participation and an unrestricted exhibition experience.
