What RC-Technik Ventilatoren-Vertriebs-GmbH does

RC-Technik Ventilatoren-Vertriebs-GmbH is a privately held, family-owned German limited-liability company headquartered in Berlin-Tempelhof, founded in 1969 by Reinhard Curdt and currently led by second-generation managing director Matthias Curdt. The company specializes in industrial ventilation technology — axial fans, radial blowers, compact fans, motor impellers, air-handling units, and related control and regulation devices — organized across three product lines: Bahntechnik (railway technology), Energietechnik (power engineering), and Klimatechnik (HVAC/air conditioning). Its product range combines own-manufactured, custom-engineered fans with distribution of products from tier-one European manufacturers including ebm-papst, Ziehl-Abegg, Helios, Systemair, and Nicotra Gebhardt, supported by in-house engineering for railway-qualified blowers and bespoke ventilation containers.

The business operates a sales-led, direct enterprise go-to-market targeting original equipment manufacturers and operators in rail vehicles, power generation equipment (including wind power), and commercial/industrial HVAC. Custom design and short-lead-time manufacturing for customer-specific cooling applications — particularly for high-performance traction motors, compact rail electronics, generators, converters, and switchgear — is a recurring revenue mechanic, alongside catalogue sales of distributed manufacturer products and a fourth-line repairs-and-restoration service. Named enterprise customers include Bombardier Transportation, Siemens Transportation Systems, Deutsche Bahn, S-Bahn Berlin, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe, Skoda Transportation, VEM Sachsenwerk, GE Energy Power Conversion, and AEM Dessau, with documented worldwide deliveries to Germany, South Africa, Spain, China, Greece, Norway, and Egypt. The company has maintained DIN EN ISO 9001 certification annually since January 2000 and offers multilingual support (German, English, Chinese) through its corporate website.

Core offering

RC-Technik manufactures and distributes a comprehensive range of ventilation equipment — from compact axial and radial fans to large industrial blowers — for three core markets: railway technology (rail-vehicle cooling blowers), power engineering (cooling for generators, large motors, converters, switchgear, and wind power plants), and air conditioning/HVAC. The company combines in-house custom design and manufacturing with distribution of products from renowned external manufacturers, and also offers repairs and maintenance as a fourth service pillar.

Product overview

RC-Technik Ventilatoren-Vertriebs-GmbH is a Berlin-based specialist in ventilation technology with over 30 years of experience. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of fans and blowers across three main product lines: Railway Technology (Bahntechnik), Power Engineering (Energietechnik), and Air Conditioning (Klimatechnik). Their product range spans from compact axial and radial fans to large industrial blowers, featuring both standardized products from renowned manufacturers and custom-engineered solutions from their own production. The Railway Technology division specializes in cooling fans for rail-bound vehicles including radial blowers (G2D, R3G series), 19'' slide-in fan trays, and driver cab fans designed for extreme conditions. The Power Engineering division provides cooling solutions for generators, large motors, converters, switchgear, and wind power plants, including the G4D, DKHM, DKE, DRAD, and DCTLL series. The Air Conditioning division encompasses a broad spectrum of HVAC products including air handling units (AIRBOX), various radial and axial fans, roof fans, pipe fans, channel fans, compact fans, thermal fans, plastic fans, and associated control systems. The company distinguishes itself through custom product development and manufacturing capabilities alongside distribution of third-party manufacturer products.
