About Silvervision
# A standard that began in 1908.
## Today in its fourth generation.
Silvervision stands for precisely organised passenger transport in the premium segment.
Owner-led, the fourth generation of a lineage that began in Soest, Westphalia, in 1908.
*The standard remains the same today.*
### Heritage
## A story that begins in 1908.
*Four generations span the distance from 1908 to today’s Silvervision GmbH.*
*The path can be traced through three milestones.*
The story begins in 1908 in Soest. There, August Karrie founded a passenger transport business, still operating with horse-drawn carriages at the time,
which has been carried forward across four generations. Today’s Silvervision GmbH is the direct continuation of this lineage, led by a member of what is now the fourth generation.
His Berlin years shaped him — working in a business unit for senior corporate and state delegations.
From that period comes the standard that runs through every Silvervision booking today: discretion, punctuality, a setting appropriate to the rank of the occasion.
In 2001, Silvervision was integrated into the company’s core operations. In 2004, it was finally spun off as an independent entity, today’s Silvervision GmbH.
Initially with locations in Düsseldorf and Hamburg. In 2010, Markus Werner Karrie returns to the family’s original location.
Soest — the unsung capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, conveniently situated near the Ruhr region — becomes the company’s head office.
The line that began here in 1908 comes full circle.
### Uncompromising
## Uncompromising service.
*Service at Silvervision consists of three components: the vehicle, its configuration, and the chauffeurs who drive it.*
*None is taken for granted — each is part of the standard.*
01
The Vehicles
### Every vehicle is built for Silvervision.
The fleet is not assembled from standard production models but built individually for Silvervision — configured to the level guests expect. Modern drivetrains and ecological design come as standard, not as an upgrade.
02
The Configuration
### The configuration follows the occasion.
Conference tables, onboard refrigeration, galley kitchens, monitors, Wi-Fi connectivity, power outlets at every seat. Which component is used in which vehicle depends on the purpose of the journey — board-level appointment, delegation tour, exhibition shuttle, or roadshow.
03
The Chauffeurs
### The chauffeurs know the context.
German- and English-speaking chauffeurs who understand the conventions of international business and delegation guests. Discretion and a professional demeanour as a matter of course on every journey — not as a promise.

### The Promise
## You receive exactly the vehicle you see here.
*The market for premium passenger transport operates largely on pool logic: a vehicle category is booked, and whatever is available on the day is deployed.*
Silvervision works differently. What appears in the proposal is the vehicle that arrives — confirmed in writing and documented in images before every journey.
This commitment has a practical reason. Whoever books a vehicle for a board-level appointment, a delegation, or an exhibition appearance must know what arrives — not hope for it. Silvervision treats the advance commitment as the foundation of every booking, not as a special feature.Silvervision macht die Vorab-Zusage zur Grundlage jeder Buchung, nicht zu einem Sondermerkmal.
“With us, you receive exactly the vehicle you see.
We guarantee that in writing and in images.”

### The Owner
## Markus Werner Karrie.
Fourth generation. Managing director and owner.
Markus Werner Karrie leads Silvervision as sole managing director and owner. He is the fourth generation of a lineage that has been engaged in passenger transport since 1908 — and the point of contact you speak with directly on every relevant matter.
His Berlin years shaped him — the establishment of a business unit for senior corporate and state delegations. From that period comes the standard that runs through every Silvervision booking today: discretion, punctuality, a setting appropriate to the rank of the occasion.
For Markus Karrie, owner-led means personal availability. On every enquiry, at every stage of a booking, at every critical point — not as an exception, but as a rule. The business carries his name. The responsibility for delivering on this commitment, day after day, rests with him.
“What began in 1908, I continue today. On the matters that truly count, you speak with me.”
