Founded in 1979 by Karl-Heinz Schuler, Carthago began as a small conversion specialist in Ravensburg, Germany. In its early years, the company gained a reputation for bespoke van conversions before transitioning into the production of its own high-quality coachbuilt and A-class motorhomes. A pivotal moment in the brand's history occurred in the late 1990s with the introduction of the 'M-Liner', which established Carthago as a serious competitor in the luxury liner segment.

In 2013, the company moved to its state-of-the-art 'Carthago City' headquarters in Aulendorf, a facility that serves as both a production plant and a dedicated brand centre. This move allowed for expanded production capacity to meet growing international demand. Over four decades, Carthago has remained an independent, owner-managed company, a rarity in an industry increasingly dominated by large conglomerates. Today, the brand encompasses the chic, c-line, and s-plus ranges, alongside its younger sibling brand, Malibu. Carthago continues to be a consistent recipient of owner-voted awards, frequently cited for its high residual values and technical innovation in heat distribution and storage solutions.
