DESIGNA Verkehrsleittechnik GmbH

Foundation
At 11.January 1951 Heinz Bula and Gerhard
Vogel founded DESIGNA - German Society for Signals and Advertising Media Ltd. in
Kiel-Projensdorf with three employees.

Then
...

Originally the two founders manufactured traffic and advertising
signs - until about 30 years ago when the first parking system was introduced.
As a result of rapid technological development DESIGNA has been able to launch
more and more complex and intelligent solutions.

... and now

Today DESIGNA systems facilitate the management of parking in more
than 6000 complexes throughout the world. From individual covered car parks to
systems that run thousands of airport parking spaces or integrated city network
systems.
