The history of Tecair

Tecair’s history started in 1880 when plumber Abraham Bijlenga founded a machine factory in the center of Leeuwarden. In the 1920s, Bijlenga started with the production of cheese preparation equipment. He changed the name of his Company into Tebel. Which became well-known and remains today.

During the 1960s, the company was sold to a management buy-out. In the coming years Tebel expanded in the production and development of products for the ‘rolling stock’ market, both national and international.  Parts, components, door controls and magnetic brakes.

In 1992 Tebel expanded further and purchased the Philips location (TPME) in Leeuwarden. The Company moved to this location and changed the Company name into the “Transferia Technologies Group”. Pneumatic parts were sold under the trade name “Transferia Pneumatics”. In 1996 most of Transferia’s activities were sold to the Swedish Sab Wabco company. Sab Wabco didn’t buy the production facilities of “Transferia” or NoordNed. The production facilities were moved to NoordNed.  From this time onwards Sab Wabco bought all the machined parts for the door equipment from NoordNed.

In 1997 NoordNed went into administration and all activities were sold. The pneumatics production was bought by two employees of NoordNed: Klaas Zaagemans and Marco Markus. October 1st, 1997 saw the start of the new company called Tecair. In 2016 Klaas Zaagemans retired and Marco Markus became the sole owner of Tecair.

Bureau Veritas assessed the quality processes of Tecair and the company now has  ISO9001; 2015 accreditation.
