Resatur GmbH’s company history
Resatur GmbH has been developing, producing and selling stainless steel products incorporating innovative electronics under its masunt brand for nine years.
The pre-foundation phase (2004 – 2010)
Stephan Untiedt and Markus Schacht, the founders, met while they were studying at the University of Münster.
After holding positions in international companies and a research institution, the two friends decided to quit their jobs and go self-employed.
The founding idea
Experiences that the founders’ friends and family had with respect to holiday home rentals and the associated key handover process led Stephan Untiedt and Markus Schacht to their idea of making key handover contactless. This was the starting signal for the specific development process of the first key safe models. Since then, the company has aimed to enable autonomous key handover using smart key boxes and to improve the process for guests, service providers and owners alike.
The family-like friendship with engineers and employees in Bulgaria, which has existed since 2007, formed the foundation of the development process for the first models made of high-quality stainless steel.

Resatur’s mission statement
Technically innovative products boasting high-quality workmanship are created based on the German/Bulgarian friendship. Expectations are for both the German and the Bulgarian workforce to grow steadily over time. The production facility is kitted out with modern machinery and offers stainless steel processing and component assembly capabilities as part of workshop production operations. The focus is on manual production processes, and production capacities have been expanded one step at a time.
The masunt brand’s mission statement
The masunt brand is part of Resatur GmbH, and its name is derived from the two founders’ names, Markus Schacht and Stephan Untiedt.
masunt is synonymous with high-quality products made of stainless steel. The products are handmade and equipped with innovative mechanics or electronics to offer the end customer added value in everyday life. Staff passionately produce both the stainless steel hardware and the smart software under fair conditions.
