Bürstner is a renowned brand in the camping and vehicle sector, known for its high quality and innovative solutions. Founded in Germany, Bürstner has established itself in the market as a reliable manufacturer of motorhomes and caravans and enjoys great popularity among families, beginners and camping enthusiasts. Particularly noteworthy are the sophisticated design, the excellent price-performance ratio and the wide range of models that offer both comfort and functionality. With its many years of experience and continuous development, Bürstner sets standards in the industry and is a trustworthy choice for anyone who loves mobile travel.

Foundation & company history

Bürstner's origins date back to 1924, when Jakob Bürstner founded a wholesale and joinery business in Kehl-Neumühl (Baden-Württemberg). In the 1950s, the company shifted its focus to interior fittings and fitted out railroad stations and dormitories for Deutsche Bahn, among other things. 

In 1958, Bürstner began manufacturing its first caravan, the „Delfin“ model, in the Neumühl district of Kehl. In 1961, the company presented its products for the first time at the Caravan Salon in Essen. 

On January 1, 1973, Jakob Bürstner KG was renamed Bürstner GmbH. Due to the growing demand for production capacity, Bürstner acquired a former joinery in Wissembourg, Alsace, in 1976 and founded Bürstner SA there. 

Bürstner started building motorhomes in 1986 and produced its first alcove model. The first semi-integrated motorhome followed two years later. In 1996, the company presented its first fully integrated motorhome. 

Bürstner was acquired by Hymer AG in 1998 and has been part of the Erwin Hymer Group ever since. This has been part of the US company Thor Industries since 2019.

A significant milestone was the introduction of the fold-down bed in semi-integrated motorhomes in 2008 with the Ixeo series. This innovation enabled additional sleeping space in a compact design and was later adapted in caravans such as the Averso Plus. 

Today Bürstner produces at two locations:

  • ThroatHeadquarters and production facility for motorhomes and caravans.
  • Wissembourg (France)Furniture production for the vehicles.

With over 60 years of experience in caravan and motorhome construction, Bürstner is now one of the leading suppliers in Europe. The brand stands for innovation, quality and living comfort and has managed to consolidate its position in the market over the decades.
