Engineering

Creative and innovative product and system solutions.

We offer innovative engineering with product development and project-related application engineering design for both OEM products and automation with system integration.

The development of innovative product and system solutions is the driving force behind the way we think and act. Therefore, the primary focus is to enhance our customers’ enthusiastic appreciation of the quality, reliability and economic efficiency of our made-to-measure systems. This way our highly qualified engineers and technicians help our customers to benefit from the newest, latest and most efficient technologies with regard to economic efficiency, reliability and safety.

Thanks to experience gained from the realisation of a number of national and international projects in the mining sector involving the underground hoisting of raw materials, SIEMAG TECBERG group’s engineering services today include a wide range extending from initial layout/construction planning through to production drawings and parts lists.
