Kirstein Technische Systeme

Kirstein GmbH Technische Systeme was founded by Dipl. Ing. Gerhard Kirstein in 1992: During the first years, we focussed on design and production of electronic controllers and manufacture of special harnesses. In 1998, our company moved from Neusäß to Augsburg - investing in our own building. Only two years later, on our own site, an additional building (KTS Building II) was set up in order to keep up with increasing demands of our long-term and new customers. In consequence, a new basis was created with regard to further fields of activity.
The company´s philosophy developed to the effect that the system components we had since designed and produced, resulted in the design and production of complex mechatronic systems. For this purpose, investments were made in machines and testing devices. The management decided to rearrange the company´s structure and founded the KTS Metall GmbH, which from thereon, took over the job of mechanical production. Moreover, the structure of the sales department changed gradually. In 2009, the result was the foundation of KTS Vertriebs GmbH , and in 2010, our first own registered sales office in Russia (Moscow) was established.

On our premises, not only development and research are encouraged, we also do the production of prototypes, pre-production series as well as small-lot production. Series productions in larger quantities are made by selected manufacturers and domestic partners.
The commercial department (sales, order management, purchase, quality management and logistics) are also located here.

Here, the machining (chip removal etc.) , the production and testing of mechatronic subsystems as well as the assembly of gears are made. In 2011, the assembly of the new Horex motorbike is going to start here. Besides, our company is capable to run gears on two diesel-gear test benches and two electronic test benches to make thorough examinations and acceptance tests. Our equipment is completed by a roller type test stand and a hydraulic ram.
