Tecair Australia.

Tecair Australia was established in 2007 to service the Rail Industry with components for maintaining rail passenger locomotives. For over twenty years, Tecair Australia has partnered with Tecair BV Netherlands to develop and manufacture pneumatic components and systems.

At Tecair, we are fully equipped to design (in 3D), manufacture, and test pneumatic systems and components. Our flexible and customer-oriented approach means we can provide tailor-made pneumatic solutions, ensuring your unique needs are met. Thanks to our specialised knowledge, Tecair supplies companies worldwide in various industries, including food, chemicals, and railways.

The company provides an impressive range of standard products and specials developed for specific applications. It can also install and maintain the pneumatic equipment for a total package. Tecair Australia is also capable of delivering products that are now not readily available by reverse engineering to provide technical solutions at competitive prices. Tecair Australia provides its Brake Resistor design for passenger trains.

With the demand for Tebel and other pneumatic cylinders in Australia, Tecair Australia became the distributor of Tecair BV products in 2007. Since then, Tecair Australia has branched out into supplying “hard to get” products for the railway industry. It supports them by sourcing alternative quality products at competitive prices and offering excellent customer service. Tecair Australia has designed its braking resistors for trains to complement the offering.

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.
