About Us

Since 1964, we have stood for technical precision, partnership-based consulting, and efficient solutions. As a specialist in drive technology and linear systems, we support machine and plant manufacturers with in-depth know-how and a broad range of high-quality components.

Due to market growth and international orientation, the T.E.A. Group was formed, operating additional independent locations worldwide.

Living sustainability

Traditionally Future-Oriented

Planet Earth is our most precious asset. We have set ourselves the goal of contributing to its preservation and act with sustainability in mind. Alongside using solar power and electric mobility, we continually explore ways to operate more resource-efficiently.

This includes reducing packaging materials as well as optimising transport routes. Technische Antriebselemente is traditionally future-oriented — and we want to secure that future for our children and grandchildren too.
