We are proud to look back on our over 38-year company history!
The popular SOLIS® infrared heaters have been used in Infrared Saunas for home use since 2001!
With our many years of experience, we guarantee you much joy and well-being with your new ATROPA Infrared Sauna.
For more than 27 years, the company ATROPA Infrared Saunas GmbH has been successfully selling Infrared Saunas in Austria. The company was founded in 1987 by Josef Schabetsberger.
The original company philosophy, to maintain closeness to the customer and thus have the ability to respond to customer wishes quickly and effectively, has remained to this day.
Long before Infrared Saunas gained popularity in Europe, the company ATROPA Infrared Saunas GmbH (then still Schabetsberger GmbH) distributed products that are beneficial to health. Initially as a sales agency for orthoses and support stockings, which later expanded into a comprehensive trade of orthopedic supplies.
Furthermore, from 1993 onwards, waterbeds were sold with rapidly increasing success.
As early as autumn 1998, the product range was expanded to include Infrared Saunas and heat cabins.
After a severe vertebral fracture in 2004 and an astonishing full recovery thanks to the supportive effect of infrared heat, the company founder Josef Schabetsberger decided to focus exclusively on deep-heat Infrared Saunas and to sell the orthopedics trade and the waterbed business.
In 2010, the distribution of Infrared Saunas was expanded to Switzerland. This year we are therefore celebrating a great anniversary:
15 Years of AtropaSwiss!
In 2014, it was decided to rely completely on the deep-heat heaters from SOLIS®. The full-spectrum heaters from SOLIS® have also enjoyed great popularity in ATROPA's Infrared Saunas since 2020.
Since then, the company ATROPA Infrared Saunas, as a family business, has been successfully selling Infrared Saunas throughout all of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Company Founder
Josef Schabetsberger
"We had the vision of bringing the deep-acting infrared heat directly under the skin. On the market, there were only unsatisfactory solutions, for example, washing machine heating elements were used as infrared heaters, which only heat the skin superficially. Some of these elements can still be found in cheap cabins today. We asked ourselves how we could do it better. We are proud to say that with the ATS series, we offer the best deep-heat infrared radiation on the market."
Management
Mag. Matteo Schabetsberger
"Our ultimate goal is to satisfy every single customer. This starts with the consultation. Not every Infrared Sauna is suitable for every user; individual needs and goals must be addressed, as well as the available space. Listening to customers is very important here!"
CFO / Controlling
Zofia Schabetsberger
"I have been involved with our company from the very beginning, helping to build it up, and have watched with great joy as it has grown over time. Today, I am happy to see the company on such solid footing. That brings real joy."
Sales
Patrick Schabetsberger, BSc
"Through the welcome, direct communication with our customers and prospects, we can gather a lot of feedback and experience. I always try to pass this information on to the team immediately so that the suggestions for improvement can be incorporated directly into the further development of our Infrared Saunas. Due to the flat company hierarchy, the communication and transfer of this information is simple and thus quickly realized."
Marketing
Mag. Sandra Schabetsberger
"When people think of marketing, many think of tricks to persuade customers to buy. For me, it's about something completely different, namely communicating our strengths and the benefits for our customers. I am proud to say that those who find us usually stay with us."
Customer Service
Pia Fajtak
"Providing good advice to our customers is a major concern for me personally. We support and help our customers even years after they have purchased an Infrared Sauna, because our warranty promise naturally includes the best customer service."
Warehousing
Peter Sordyl
"To ensure the shortest possible delivery times, efficient planning of our warehouse capacities is very important. We see it as part of our service to always have all Infrared Sauna models in stock. After all, our customers should decide on the right Infrared Sauna based on its features, not on delivery times."
Assembly Teams
Matthias Biesok
"I've only been with ATROPA for 6 years, but I was able to gain a lot of assembly experience before. The assemblies at ATROPA are always pleasant and associated with a friendly relationship. This is due to the nice, wellness-oriented customers."
