From Transrapid to TechCenter: Our Story

To this day, our company name unmistakably represents our past: We developed the superspeed maglev system Transrapid. We have grown and evolved since then, having continuously enhanced our areas of excellence. Nowadays, we consult our customers in a vast range of different industries under the name TechCenter Control Technology.

Companies have to reinvent themselves again and again, and this is truer today than ever before. The successful deployment of the Transrapid in Shanghai demonstrates the innovative power that lies within this company. Today, the team at TechCenter Control Technology use precisely this strength: Because of their broad technical expertise, innovative engineering projects they are involved with become a success.
