Driving Innovation in America’s Urban Landscape
In the interview, Mr. Tiessen highlights how mechanical stacker systems and automated parking technologies are reshaping the way cities approach density, mobility, and real estate value. With land constraints and construction costs rising nationwide, he underscores the need for solutions that optimize space without expanding a building’s footprint.
“Developers are no longer satisfied with simply adding more parking—they want smarter parking,” Mr. Tiessen notes in the article. “Our systems fundamentally change what’s possible.”
Leading the U.S. Market With Purpose and Precision
Under Mr. Tiessen’s leadership, KLAUS Multiparking America continues to accelerate its nationwide impact, delivering German-engineered systems that:
- Maximize unit yield and revenue potential
- Reduce excavation and structural volume
- Integrate with EV charging and smart-access technologies
- Support architects and developers from concept through completion
The CEO Weekly feature highlights Mr. Tiessen’s commitment to advancing vertical mobility as a cornerstone of future-ready development—and his vision for a more efficient, sustainable U.S. urban landscape.
From Germany to America: A Journey Built on Innovation
Christopher Tiessen’s path to leadership wasn’t typical. After completing his education in Germany and spending his formative years in major retail, he developed an appreciation for something that would define his leadership philosophy: results often matter more than rigid processes. This mindset, combined with his bicultural perspective, would prove invaluable when he took the helm of KLAUS Multiparking America.
The company he leads is no newcomer to ingenuity. With roots stretching back over 118 years, KLAUS Multiparking GmbH has built its reputation on invention, premium engineering, and a customer-first approach. When Mr. Tiessen arrived to lead the American subsidiary, he saw an opportunity that went far beyond simply selling parking systems. He saw a chance to help transform the U.S. real estate industry’s approach to urban development.
“I’ve always concentrated on results,” Mr. Tiessen explains. “I empower our teams with trust and autonomy, encouraging them to challenge assumptions, step outside the usual playbook, and focus on what truly works. We value creative problem-solving over convention.”
That unconventional thinking became the foundation for KLAUS Multiparking America’s approach to the U.S. market.
Honoring 35+ Years of Excellence in the U.S.
With more than three decades of continuous operations in the American market and over 835,000 parking spaces installed globally, KLAUS Multiparking remains a driving force in the evolution of smart parking infrastructure.
Mr. Tiessen’s feature in CEO Weekly reinforces the company’s leadership position as the U.S. subsidiary of KLAUS Multiparking GmbH, Germany’s pioneering parking manufacturer since 1964.
