What Teccon Austria Gmbh does

Teccon Austria GmbH operates the Passive Safety Center in Gratkorn, Austria, delivering engineering services, physical crash testing, and proprietary test equipment for the passive vehicle-safety domain. The company was founded in 1998 as Concept Tech GmbH, subsequently passed through Altran (2014) and Capgemini Engineering (2020), and now sits within the TECCON Group alongside sister entity TECCON Consulting GmbH (founded January 2025). The Group employs more than 450 engineers, technicians, and IT specialists across 8 competence units and 11 locations in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

The offering is organized around three pillars: (1) Engineering and CAE simulation across crash-worthiness, occupant restraint, interior/exterior development, and material characterization; (2) Physical testing including pedestrian protection, sled, component, and full-vehicle crash tests conducted in an ISO 17025 / Euro NCAP accredited laboratory, including HV-3 high-voltage testing for EVs; and (3) Test equipment manufacturing, covering the proprietary Universal Impactor Test System (UITS) with Advanced Speed Control (ASC) launchers, drop towers, mobile barriers, bumper pendulums, rollover systems, mobile climate boxes, and crash test dummies (ATDs) available for rent or sale. Additional revenue comes from 3D scanning (Creaform MetraSCAN, 0.025 mm accuracy) and 3D printing services.

The commercial model is project-based B2B enterprise sales with custom quotations, multi-year contracts, and no public pricing. GTM combines direct account management for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with exclusive North American equipment distribution via Calspan (announced August 2025), ALEE partner-lab network access for EU type approval work, and Microsoft HoloLens-enabled remote test observation. Certifications held include Euro NCAP Authorized Test Centre (2024), ISO 17025, ISO 9001:2015, and TISAX.
