What we do

Founded 165 years ago, we design, develop and produce transmissions that power off-highway machines all over the world. Our solutions are built for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who need reliable performance in the toughest environments.

Our range covers engines from 50 kW / 67 hp to 135 kW / 181 hp, including manual gear select (Synchro shuttle), semi- and fully-automatic (Powershift) transmissions. You'll find our products in Caterpillar backhoe loaders, small wheel loaders and telescopic handlers, as well as in a variety of applications from other leading OEMs.

What sets us apart is how we work. From the first outline of your machine's performance goals, our engineers work closely with you to create a transmission tuned for your needs. We stay by your side throughout testing, development, production and beyond, providing expertise and support throughout the transmission's life.
