Altec, a 38-year TCIA corporate-member company based in Birmingham, Alabama, has acquired the companies of Teupen Maschinenbau GmBH. Teupen has been designing and manufacturing backyard aerial devices since 1977. Their products are assembled in Germany, sold globally, and regarded as best in class.
This acquisition expands the footprint for Altec Worldwide and provides a complement to Altec’s robust line of products and services designed for the utility, telecommunications, tree care and lights and signs markets.
“Altec is excited to be offering the Teupen product to customers across several of the company’s core industries,” says Paul Crane, managing director, Altec Worldwide. “These products are designed with best-in-class reliability, durability and versatility in mind. They will allow us to provide our customers with a new type of equipment while still receiving the outstanding Altec experience they know and expect.”
Teupen products are imported and serviced in the United States through Teupen North America, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. Martin Borutta, previous owner, will continue to oversee the business in the U.S. and Germany.
