What Tousek - Automatische Torantriebe does

Tousek — Automatische Torantriebe is a family-owned Austrian manufacturer of automatic gate drive systems, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Vienna (Zetschegasse 1, A-1230 Wien). The company designs and produces a comprehensive portfolio of electric gate operators spanning residential and industrial applications, including sliding gate drives (Pull T, TPS 6 Speed, TPS 20, TPS 40 PRO and the flagship TPS 60 PRO rated for gates up to 60m, 6,000kg at 30m/min), swing gate drives (Slim CLR, Sonic 24, TURN series, SWING X, SPIN 250, REX force), garage door operators (GTZ series), barrier systems (PASS 839, LIFT X chain barrier), and an accessory ecosystem covering proprietary RS433/RS868 radio controls, Bluetooth transmitters (BT 40), photoelectric light curtains, safety contact edges, signal/warning lights, and IoT modules (tousek connect, tousek connect pro, tousek service interface). Selected drives (PULL T, TPS 20, SLIM, SWING X) are TÜV SÜD first-tested under EN 13241-1 with EN 12453 and EN 12445, enabling installations to operate without active safety contact strips on the main closing edge, and the company has held ISO 9001:2015 certification since September 2016.

Go-to-market is exclusively B2B channel-based, with no direct-to-consumer or e-commerce channel evident; pricing is quote-based and undisclosed, and revenue is generated through hardware sales of gate operators, accessories and connected/IoT modules. The company is led by Eduard Tousek as Managing Director (Geschäftsführer) of both the Austrian and German entities, is privately held with no public listing and no disclosed external investors, and is publicly recognised as a 'Staatlich ausgezeichnetes Unternehmen' (State-Recognised Austrian Company).
