We are Nissen
Nissen has driven forward the development of mobile traffic management in a way that hardly any other company has – from the Nissen warning lamp through to the intelligent LED system.
Our science is safety
Using our innovative solutions for traffic management products we have taken a leading position on the international market. We offer you high quality products: from warning lamps, safety beacons and safety barriers through to LED variable message signs and software for mobile traffic systems.
Beyond this you will also benefit from the know-how we have built up over decades on technology and legal regulations. As a supplier of safety-relevant products we are aware of our responsibility. That is why the highest levels of quality and precision are included in our standards.

Our quality management is certificated to DIN EN ISO 9001 and our environmental management since 2014 according to DIN EN ISO 14001.
Certified in accordance with AEO-C since 2011, Nissen offers simplified customs clearance and all the benefits of a reliable, secure and trustworthy business partner.

We always look ahead
The course of our company is not determined by stockbrokers but rather by our managing directors – who have been together for a long time, successfully and as energetically as they were on the first day.
Even as a leading player in our industry we are always looking for new ways to achieve more trendsetting developments. And thanks to our well-established expertise and decades of experience we are finding them.

True high performance is Group performance
Mobile traffic management presents many challenges for all participants. The Nissen Group bundles its know-how and competences in order to fulfil the different tasks. Profit from the integrated solutions of a central partner.
Nistech develops mobile protective devices in order to secure workplaces on two-lane roads and motorways. Produced in accordance with the high Nissen standard, these structures must pass the strictest tests and examination and persuade customers with numerous, innovative details.
The NissenPlast company is also part of the Nissen Group. It produces the high-quality plastic parts for road safety. The steel elements in products developed by Nissen also come from their own production facility.

The British transport sector differs from the valid standards in continental Europe in many details.

Managing Director Ilyas Sharif is also Chairman of the Retroreflective Equipment Manufacturer’s Association (REMA). Nissen UK is also a member of the International Road Federation and local federations such as UK Roads and the Association for Road Traffic Safety and Management (ARTSM).


Nissen in Austria
Neuhauser Verkehrstechnik has been part of the Nissen Group since 2017. The company has for a long time been responsible for the general distribution of Nissen solutions in Austria and specializes in safety for dormant and flowing traffic. They offer ranges from traffic signs and fastening systems through solutions for winter maintenance, municipal supplies and surveying to parking space equipment and access control.

From pioneer to market leader
Nissen is one of the leading suppliers of solutions for mobile road safety in the world. The foundation for this was laid over 100 years ago. In 1914 the company’s founder Adolf Nissen began to develop ignition systems for cars and registered patents for this in several countries. In the middle of the 1950s Nissen Elektrobau GmbH entered the traffic management industry.
The breakthrough came with the development of the first electric warning lamp. Further innovations such as control devices for automatic systems, confirmed the reputation of the company as a pacesetter for progress. Nissen expanded over the next decades – both on their original site and with branches opening in England, Switzerland and other countries.
Nissen not only drove the development of innovative technologies like LED in road safety but also played a significant role in the unification of road safety regulations. Thus its name stands like no other for pioneering solutions and comprehensive know-how in traffic management around the world.
