Plainsboro Township, New Jersey, United States, June 26, 2025 -- In a bold step toward redefining urban mobility and design-forward infrastructure, KLAUS Multiparking officially launched its newest semi-automatic puzzle system—kVario—during a high-energy ribbon-cutting celebration at its global headquarters in Aitrach, Germany.
The inaugural event welcomed a cross-section of the global built environment—architects, engineers, developers, consultants, and real estate visionaries—for an exclusive first look at the system reshaping how we think about vehicle storage in dense, design-sensitive environments.
Innovation in Motion: kVario Takes Center Stage
With the rollout of kVario, KLAUS Multiparking once again demonstrates its role as a market-shaping innovator. Far more than a product launch, the event served as a compelling showcase of mechanical ingenuity, design integration, and sustainable space planning. Attendees experienced firsthand how kVario brings flexibility, elegance, and efficiency to parking structures—from tight urban infill sites to expansive mixed-use developments.
“kVario represents a new chapter in the evolution of smart parking systems—purpose-built for modern development challenges,” said Christopher Tiessen, President & CEO of KLAUS Multiparking America Inc.
“From space-constrained urban and suburban sites to high-density environments, this system gives architects and developers a versatile tool to reclaim space, reduce complexity, and enhance long-term value. We’re excited to bring this innovation to forward-thinking projects across the United States.”
Precision Built for the Real Estate of Tomorrow
Engineered with modular adaptability and advanced platform logic, kVario is purpose-built to meet the parking challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s developments. It seamlessly accommodates various vehicle profiles, optimizes vertical space with or without a pit, and reduces the footprint traditionally required for conventional parking—all while aligning with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and modern construction timelines.
