What TII Group does
TII Group is a privately held, family-run German manufacturer of heavy-duty transport vehicles headquartered in Pfedelbach (near Heilbronn), Germany. Operating under the consolidated brand umbrella of Transporter Industry International GmbH (founded 1969), the group brings together three historic industrial brands — SCHEUERLE, KAMAG, and NICOLAS — with a cumulative innovation heritage exceeding 150 years, plus a regional subsidiary TII India Private Limited. The company serves ten industry verticals spanning heavy haulage, crane and rigging, wind energy, defence, shipyard and offshore, aerospace, power generation, construction and mining, yard logistics, and metallurgy, with named customers such as ENERCON in wind energy.
TII Group's product portfolio is structured around two divisions. TII SCHEUERLE provides on- and off-road heavy transport solutions including low-bed semi-trailers, modular trailers (configurable for loads up to 350 tons), self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), shipyard transporters, and specialized wind-turbine component transport systems capable of handling 86-meter rotor blades. TII KAMAG focuses on internal yard-logistics equipment including swap body transporters, terminal tractors (including the recently launched electric ePrecisionTractor 201), SPMT PowerHoss, slag pot carriers, lift transporters, and slab carriers for metallurgical environments. Manufacturing is conducted in Pfedelbach and Ulm (Germany), Champs-sur-Yonne (France), and Bawal (India), with a new sales and project-engineering office inaugurated in Pune, India in December 2025.
The business model is anchored in capital-equipment sales (heavy vehicles and spare parts via the Click4Parts online store) complemented by recurring revenue streams from service contracts, vehicle maintenance and repair, operator training, load-case engineering, and the SCHEUERLE Connect and KAMAG Connect telematics platforms. Products are quote-priced through enterprise field sales targeting large industrial clients, with global reach delivered via a network of authorized service partners and workshops and participation in major trade events such as Bauma (Munich) and ConExpo (Las Vegas). The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 3834-2 welding certifications across its main German facilities, supporting qualification for public infrastructure, defence, and shipyard tenders.
