MEISSEL OPEN AIR-SOLUTIONS GmbH

Celebrating Outside Since 1976.

For nearly half a century, Meissl Open-Air Solutions has been synonymous with creating exceptional open-air experiences, a legacy rooted in family, quality, and innovation. Founded in 1976 by Renate and Johann Meissl in a humble garage, the company has grown into an internationally recognized leader in outdoor solutions.

This family business, located south of Salzburg, Austria, is well known across Europe for their qualitative, solution-oriented and professional approach, which, paired with their warmth of communication and sense of user-friendly design, makes their weather protection solutions the go-to in the giant umbrella market.

At Meissl, they believe in finding solutions — constantly developing and challenging the status quo through the problems at hand, they focus their interdisciplinary approach to resolve unpredictable, external factors caused by sun, wind, rain, snow, and ice.
