Lift Drives

Swiss Traction Germany GmbH was founded as an independent company in 2005 and has been dealing with the development, production and distribution of gearless drives for passenger and cargo lifts. Since 1 November 2017, the production of these drives has been continued by PARTZSCH Elektromaschinenbau GmbH under the name Swiss Traction Germany. The development, manufacturing and distribution of permanent-magnet synchronous drives will thus be continued purposefully in the future and further adapted to market developments.
