Stabilus Secures Major Orders in Electromechanical Door Systems

Stabilus SE is strengthening its position in the electromechanical door control systems market, particularly for vehicles. The company recently secured a significant contract from a Chinese OEM, marking the start of production in 2026 for over 400,000 door drive systems annually. Currently, Stabilus solutions feature in six vehicle models, with plans to expand to 15 more.

The market for door actuators is expected to grow, with forecasts suggesting a rise from one million units in 2025 to five million by 2029. This growth is driven by the increasing popularity of autonomous cars and enhanced comfort in premium vehicles. Stabilus leverages its Powerise technology, previously used for liftgates, to enhance door systems that include electric drives, radar, and proprietary software.

The demand for integrated systems over single components is growing, with radar sensors becoming standard in Europe and Asia for obstacle detection. Stabilus' comprehensive offering gives them a competitive edge, providing a complete package for car manufacturers.
